I'm a participant in the adventure of life,
Now, I can make it trouble or I can make it strife.
I can let my face show a scowl or maybe a frown,
When others say things are looking up, I can look down.
But life here is really short, from beginning to end;
The Bible tells me I might expect threescore and ten.
So, I've got to make my life count for something good.
I want to be able to say, I helped all I could.
So, when my time comes to go, and I leave here below,
May friends say that kindness to others did I show.
For I have a Master you can see, most faithful to behold,
And He's building me a home, on a street of pure gold.
So, I'm going to wear a smile, as wide as a country mile.
And I'll share some cheer, before I think of leaving here.
So, if you are feeling low, and life's not being quite fair,
Then left you eyes toward Jesus, for He is always there.

...and two beautiful images to accompany these lovely words.
It is very well written. I could add my amen to it.
That is a very nice piece.
What a lovely poem, Karen. You surely are one who shows The Master's love and kindness. I am blessed to count you as a friend! See you again tomorrow!
This is truly an inspiration, and definitely something to live by in my opinion.
God bless you.
So true! He is always there. I love how your leaves are beginning to turn. I noticed a few pretty yellow dogwood leaves this morning.
So thankful for Jesus. Beautiful images.
Hope your Sunday was wonderful.
All the best Jan
