A Lesson From Sarah Poem by Rita Umali

Courage amidst pain
Hoping for darkness to leave forever
Waiting for light to come
And free my soul

Life has many faces
Paths and roads
Sometimes it may not be
The one we wanted
Yet we’ve got to hang on
Never give up

Christ stood by his promise
His life for us
An ordeal he went through
That we may have a new life

Trials are nothing
Compared to a second
Of pure joy and happiness
That only Christ can give

I hope in you O Lord
A promise you made
I wait for it with trembling heart
With excitement
Believing your love never fails

O how I long to see your answer
In my arms
Jesus thank you
For every ounce of hope I have
Because without you
I would have given up a long time ago
