When all the leaves have fallen <br />And this world says you're done, <br />Fix you're gaze on HIM; <br />HE never sleeps nor slumber, <br />HE believes in you still. <br /> <br />Even if you're writhed with pain, <br />Withering in the golden stages, <br />Give thanks; <br />If only for the days you've been given, <br />Rejoicing on the way, <br />Even to that place called Heaven. <br /> <br />Never let HOPE escape your heart, <br />For HE who promises is faithful. <br />Vow <br />Until I breathe my last breath <br />I'll concede nothing to the adversary. <br />Vow <br />I'll never forget my life's victories.<br /><br />Buxton Shippy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-victories/
