Poem: “With the Sun on Our Backs”

With the Sun on Our Backs

My hand is upon you,
As you well know.
I walk with you daily
In the sand and the snow.
Together we are bound,
For the journey we take.
To serve My Father in this place.

Days will come,
When life will be hard.
And others shall be,
As soft as clouds.
No matter which
Comes your way,
I am with you.
I am with you.

Each morning remember,
There are two of us here.
There is you, My servant,
And there is Me, your God (Lord).
Walk we will, arm in arm,
Wherever the journey,
Whatever the road.

Some shall be hilly,
And some shall be flat.
Some shall flow downward,
With the sun on our backs.
No matter, no matter,
Be what it may.
I am with you.
I am with you.

Do not falter,
And do not halt.
Stay to My path,
As set for you.
And in the end,
As I have promised you,
There I am waiting,
Waiting for you
