STRENGTH

I SAW AN OLD WOMAN WALKING DOWN THE ROAD
SHE WAS BENT OVER DOUBLE, HER BACK WAS BOWED
TIMES PAST HAD BEEN FULL OF TROUBLE AND STRIFE
FOR MANY YEARS SHE HAD BEEN A DEVOTED WIFE
I LOOKED AT HER CLOSELY AND I COULD SEE
A SMILE ON HER FACE, JUST FOR ME
I KNOW IN MY HEART SHE HAS HOPE AND FAITH
JUST ANXIOUSLY AWAITING HER RESTING PLACE
WHERE GOD WILL GREET HER WITH OPEN ARMS
THERE SAFE FOREVER, FROM SADNESS AND HARM!
