Present life can be one big ride, but, in my life God is glorified, <br />As The Lord guides me through, times and places He foreknew, <br />Times He ordered in my life, in that I could lean on Jesus Christ, <br />While God leads me from above, all through this ride I speak of. <br /> <br />My ride has valleys and hills, but lacking an amusement’s thrills, <br />For although each hill was high, at times they’d bring just a sigh, <br />Although at times it brought relief, time on the hill was only brief, <br />With yet another valley in view, that time was short, this we knew. <br /> <br />For on this ride I wasn’t alone, the experience wasn’t just my own, <br />Along with me in this ride of life, was a God provided loving wife, <br />By my side in the good and bad, a comfort when times were sad, <br />Comforted, not only by His grace, but by my wife in all we’d face. <br /> <br />The Lord was with us at every turn, as we helped each other learn, <br />God’s ways in dark times, as He comforted our hearts and minds, <br />And when on a hill we’d plateau, in our ride we had come to know, <br />Hearing the joy within her voice, together in God we would rejoice. <br /> <br />The time together in which we spend, upon this ride will soon end, <br />For Eternity is ahead for both of us, together with our Lord Jesus, <br />As soon we’ll both leave this place, to a home afforded by Grace, <br />And before in my life I have died, I shall say to Christ, what a ride! <br /> <br />(Copyright ©01/2012)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-a-ride-3/
