Lessons of Life

Although we enjoy sunshine,

We know there must be rain,

And though we long for pleasure,

At times in life there’s pain.

The chaos of the world

May lead us to despair,

To wonder why bad things occur

And feel that life’s not fair.

We yearn to find more joy,

To never suffer sorrow,

But though today the clouds may come

There’s hope for a brighter tomorrow.

The lessons of each day,

If they are to be learned,

Can lead us to the joy and peace

For which our hearts have yearned.

When we in faith seek God,

Who has all things in control,

Healing and strength can flow to us,

Shining beauty into each soul.

Lessons of Life



Although you enjoy sunshine,

Know there also must be rain,

And though you long for pleasure,

At times in life there’s pain.

The chaos of the world

May lead you to despair,

To wonder why bad things occur

And feel that life’s not fair.

You long to find more joy,

To never suffer sorrow,

But though today the clouds may come

There’s hope for a brighter tomorrow.

The lessons of each day,

If they are to be learned,

Can lead you to the joy and peace

For which your heart has yearned.

When you in faith seek God,

Who has all things in control,

Healing and strength can flow to you,

Shining beauty into your soul.

Ups and Downs in Life

These are a few verses that I have written that have a similar theme of the opposites in life. I post these sometimes on my Inspirational Poetry Facebook page and Twitter. Please click on these links if you'd like to read more like these.

Life is a mixture of good things and bad,

pain and pleasure, being happy or sad.

Remember through all things the good Lord above

will guide and protect you, filled with great love.

 

Some days have sunshine and others have rain,

some days bring happiness, others bring pain,

some days bring sorrow like storm clouds above,

but all days are filled with God's grace and great love.

Sometimes there's peace, at others there's strife,

laughter and tears are each part of life.

At times things go right but at times may go wrong,

But love makes things better, fills your heart with a song.
