A Heart Can Bear All Things
All thanks be to God for giving us
such strong hearts that we can bear all things.
It they were not strong,
none of us would be alive for what this hard world brings.

Mother nature takes her share, her toll,
many millions die under her power.
Of course that includes floods, famine,
earthquakes and volcanoes that tower.

Many different countries want to fight
to dominiate each other since recorded time.
O Lord!  What a strong heart we have
even when one of our own is killed in the military line.

All of these things are hard to deal with
even falling in love with your life long companion.
The heart must deal with loss
if one leaves the other in abandon.

I know this poem is depressing,
through all these things God has given us hearts to endure.
Only the faith and love of our Lord can bring us through
to be saved heavenly pure!

Thank You, Lord, for our strong hearts.
