TEARDROPS ON THE ROSE
The rose lay on the roadside,
On its petals were drops of rain
Or maybe it was teardrops
that lingered there in pain
The red rose held a story
that many have not heard
It was dropped there by a man,
to lay there in the dirt
Her beauty was magnificent,
her heart so sweet and pure
He gave his heart completely
to the woman he adored
At night he held her in his arms
and whispered of his love
And in the morning he kissed her face
as gently as he could
The years passed all too quickly,
it seemed like only days
And then they both grew old
and her black hair turned to gray
Where once there was a young girl,
now she had grown old
But he would never give her up
not even for precious gold
He held her gently in his arms
and whispered in her ear
"I can't go on alone without you,
please don't go my dear"
Her blue eyes looked intently
upon his weathered face
" She said, you are my only love,
now I must go and wait "
He walked along the dirt road,
warm tears rolled down his face
The rose he held so gently,
that he had tied with lace
And then he saw her standing there,
her face so young and sweet
And he reached out to give the rose,
to the one he came to meet
They found him by the roadside,
the rose lay near the man
It seemed that he was reaching,
as if to grasp a hand
The fragrance drifted softly
upon the Autumn morn
Once again he'd found his love ,
and now they could go on

EVERY NIGHT HAS A MORNING
Our trials will seem to us nothing at all. We shall talk to one another
about them in heaven, and find all the more to converse about, according
as we have suffered more here below. Let us go on, therefore; and if the
night be ever so dark, remember there is not a night that shall not have
a morning; and that morning is to come by and by.
--Charles Spurgeon
Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today
There are two days in every week about which we
should not worry. Two days which should be kept
free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares,
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow.
With its possible adversities, Its burdens,
Its large promise and poor performance.
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's Sun will rise, either in splendor or
behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for
it is yet unborn.
This just leaves only one day ... Today.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -- yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad.
It is the remorse of bitterness for something
which happened yesterday and the dread
of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us therefore live but one day at a time.
