Margm Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Thanks Kevin, we sure see enough valleys. Beautiful poem. Sometimes we are given longer lives and I fall back on "only the good die young" and I consider anything and up to my age as young. One thing with loss, we have a lot more valley's to explore. I wrote that she had passed away but cannot find the article I read to back that up, so maybe she is not. I hope not. We need more poems like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayc Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Thank you for sharing that with us, Kevin, I believe it wholeheartedly and know it to be true. It's just awful darn hard to feel that way in early grief! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes life seems hard to bear, Full of sorrow, trouble and woe. It’s then I have to remember That it’s in the valleys I grow. If I always stayed on the mountain top And never experienced pain, I would never appreciate God’s love And would be living in vain. I have so much to learn And my growth is very slow. Sometimes I need the mountain tops, But it’s in the valleys I grow. I do not always understand Why things happen as they do. But I am very sure of one thing. My Lord will see me through. Forgive me Lord, for complaining When I’m feeling so very low. Just give me a gentle reminder That it’s in the valleys I grow. Continue to strengthen me, Lord And use my life each day To share your love with others And help them find their way. Thank you for valleys, Lord For this one thing I know. The mountain tops are glorious But it’s in the valleys I grow! by Jane Eggleston Share253 Though as I've said before I'm not in any way religious, I found some meaningfulness to that poem, thanks for sharing!
