"Continually Grows"

A family is grieving

as one they now mourn

Through death and it's shadow

such sorrow is born

From pressures and heartache

and misery and pain

Will deep heavy sorrow

with them thus remain

They'll turn to each other

for comfort to seek

And as one united

of their sorrow speak

Yes one units strengthens

and one unit shows

That love when united

Continually grows

8-16-07 Aunt Betty died this morning and I wrote this for my Uncle David and my cousins.

"A Knot"

A time of such pressure

a time to recoil

A difficult moment

resentment can spoil

Reach out for Jehovah

and learn how to cope

Thus we'll not be reaching

the end of our rope

A knot we are needing

to tie at the end

A knot thus is needed

to help us descend

Our rope could be oily

as too it we cling

But we've the assurance

a knot to us brings

Hold tight to Jehovah

a tower secure

A knot he's provided

to help us endure

We might feel we're falling

perhaps we may slip

Reach out for Jehovah

a knot thus to grip!
