This Too Will Pass Away

My family -- my extended family, for generations, have been "keepers of stuff". Today I was sorting through the genealogy box as I was repacking it and I found sympathy cards from when my grandmother passed away -- in 1978. I found this poem in one of them and thought it might be an encouragement. This Too Will Pass Away by Helen Steiner Rice If I can endure for this minute Whatever is happening to me, No matter how heavy my heart is Or how dark the moment may be -- If I can remain calm and quiet With all my world crashing about me, Secure in the knowledge that God loves me When everyone else seems to doubt me -- If I can but keep on believing What I know in my heart to be true, That darkness will fade with the morning And that this will pass away, too -- Then nothing in life can defeat me Fora sa long as this knowledge remains I can suffer whatever is happening For I know God will break all the chains That are binding me tight in the darkness And trying to fill me with fear -- For there is no night without dawing And I know that my morning is near.
