Saving...
Hear is some poetry I will write A Little While A little while to walk lifes weary road; A little while to bear this heavy load; Then all our earthly pilgrimage shall cease, And we shall wear the crown in perfect peace. A little while to love with earthly love, And then we share the fullness from above; A little time of darkness and of doubt, Then the bright home whose light shall near go out. A lttle toil and sadness hear below; A little time to watch and plant & sow, Then Jesus calls his laborers away, Where everlasting joy & gladness stay. A little while of storm & wind and rain, And then the shining heaven we shall gain.
