I Can Carry Pain

I can carry pain

And still wear a smile

The promise I’ll gain

May take a while

The road may be long

And my heart weary

But I’ll still have a song

My load He’ll carry

God knows my heart

The sacrifices I’ve made

He’ll do His part

His life He gave

Deep cries out to deep

It’s not in vain

My heart He’ll keep

He’ll carry my pain

His joy is mine

His life fulfilling

I’ll be fine

His peace indwelling

Passion for Life

When I was a child, I thought like one

But now my childish days are done

Though I’ve grown up, I still like fun

As wife and mother, but not under the thumb

My passion for life continues at a run

There’s lots of adventure under the sun

And I don’t want to miss any one

As I share little joys with everyone

Who said my childish days are done?

Childish yes, but carefree – none!
