ALL THAT YOU BEAR
WE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ARE AWARE
OF EVERY CROSS YOU’RE ASKED TO BEAR.
THE BURDENS EACH DAY YOU ENDURE
CLEANSE YOUR SOUL TO MAKE IT PURE.
YOUR TORMENTS, SUFFERING, AND PAIN
WILL NOT OUTWEIGH WHAT YOU WILL GAIN.
WHAT WILL LAST THRU ETERNITY
IS GAINED THRU YOUR OWN CALVARY.
THE EXTRA BURDENS THAT YOU BEAR
MAY BE FOR THOSE YOU LOVE AND CARE.
WITHOUT THIS SACRIFICIAL GIFT,
THEIR SOULS WOULD STILL REMAIN ADRIFT.
YOU MAY NOT SEE THE PROGRESS GAINED
BECAUSE BY GOD IT IS CONTAINED.
WHEN THE DAY COMES, YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU WERE GUIDED BY GOD’S HAND.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
