Had to write something, but can't sit here long so...
FAITH by J.W. Riley
The sea was breaking at my feet,
And looking out across the tide,
Where placid waves and heaven meet,
I thought me of the Other Side.
For on the beach on which I stood
Were wastes of sands, and wash, and roar,
Low clouds, and gloom, and solitude,
And wrecks, and ruins - nothing more.
"O, tell me if beyond the sea
A heavenly port there is!" I cried,
And back the echoes laughingly
"There is! there is!" replied.
Wishing you all well - don't let anyone or anything steal your joy. I am doing better and hope to be back with you more regularly next week. God bless and keep!
