Once again, this month, we are celebrating National Poetry month. It is a good time to develop a joy for reading poetry. There are many poetry sites on the internet. Take a few moments and browse a few of those sites. Enjoy!
He Knows What Will Be
God knows everything about you.
Everything you will do
Your successes, your failures,
Everything you will endure.
He knows every tear you will cry.
He knows the reason why.
God has a place in this world
For every little boy and girl
He's given you a dream that only you can see.
He already knows what will be.
He's aware there will be road blocks
Designed to keep you from reaching the top
He knows people will try to convince you
That you cannot do what you want to do,
But you can make your dreams come true.
You will fulfill your purpose in the end.
You might not know how or when
Just know that the day will come
When his will shall be done.
He's already done everything he could
To work things out for your good.
He has instilled in you the passion and the fire
To do those things you desire.
God has already designed a place for you.
Has he not said and shall he not do
All that he said he will do?
You've got to believe.
Believe
That you can fulfill every purpose
And every desire he's designed for you.
He can make your dreams come true.
All you have to do is run fast, run free,
Rain straight into your destiny.

Love's Sunlit Street
Who knows why some things are or aren't to be.
No one can second-guess destiny.
Some are destined to meet
While others will never walk love's sunlit street.
Their fate is but to pass like ships in the night
Never sharing the beauty of morning's light
Ours is not to wonder why,
But, to give love our best try.
For to love at all is more than one can ask
Of a life that one moment is and soon will past.
Every day love is ours to hold
Tis a treasure more precious than gold.
True love is not always kind
Such a treasure few will find
Should fate allow you to catch love's falling star,
Consider how blessed you are.
For love will be ours to keep
When alas you stroll down love's sunlit street.
