Strength For Each Day Poem by Collette Y Anderson Williams

(Dedicated to Heather Tomlinson)

You lay there all day long
Perhaps thinking how lonely,
Or miserable life presents itself.
So many things have happened
And you may even ask, "Why me? "
The answer may not be forthcoming
But He knows best,
As He gives you strength for each day.

It is amazing how clear things become
When we find ourselves in the dark.
‘Cause He suddenly shows HIS face
Saying, "I'm with you, child".
He knows our weaknesses,
And He tells us to trust Him,
As He gives us strength for each day.

Each day rolls over into years,
And it is evidenced that
He has always been there.
There are many, who love you,
As He has put them there -
To be there when you need a friend.
Just you continue to hold on,
As He gives you strength for each day.
