A Poem - Unknown Author

    A friend shared a poem with me today.  I am sorry I don't know the author, but it's beautiful.

God hath not promised skies always blue
Flower strewn pathways, all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
... Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labour, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing kindness, undying love.

God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptations, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labour, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing kindness, undying love.

God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep.

But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labour, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing kindness, undying love.

I Went On "Our" Walk Today

I went on "our" walk today with the puppies, and I missed you.   Your in pain again.  You stayed back and rested.  Your eyes showed the disappointment when I asked you if you wanted to go with me.  Your heart said yes, but your body said no.  Your in pain again.  Your new chemotherapy is causing you more nausea.  You didn't eat dinner last night.  You didn't eat much today.  You make me worry about you a lot lately.  Your worth every ounce of worry.  Your in pain again.  Your such a wonderful man.  Your feeling guilty for not feeling like doing things you use to do.  And you can't do that, it's stupid Myeloma.  Your so tired.  Your stopping and resting more along the way whenever we go out.  Sadly your in pain again.  

     Your love means the world to me.  Sadly, I hate to see that your new chemotherapy is relentless, and I hate to see what it's doing to you.  Sadly, your body is causing you more pain this week.  Your eyes show me how bad it is.  Sadly, your in pain again.  Your such a wonderful husband, and I missed you so much on "our" walk today.  Sadly, I'm in pain again also.

Where's my Dad at Mom?
