We Were Never Meant

We Were Never Meant

We were never meant to figure out life
For life is out of our hands
Only God knows the end of our beginnings
For He holds the Master plan
We may all wish to die of old age
But that may not necessarily be our lot
So important is the urgency to love
To love...and to love a lot
Lay aside all minor matters there's a whole world to enjoy
Be swift to forgive the smallest of things
And you'll reap a harvest of joy
Remember death doesn't end it all
Your grief will soon find grace
Go live your life with love in mind
And enjoy a life of peace...

Hallelujah what a Saviour

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
