God knew I would need an outlet to vent my anguish after losing my wife of fifty years to cancer. We had pledged our love for life, but cancer cut it short. Poems began to form in my mind and with God's guidance, they were written from my heart. If your life is troubled, or you have lost a loved one or maybe you just need God in your life, there is a poem for you. I pray that God will bless you as you read them, just as he has blessed me as I wrote them. God put poems of encouragement in my heart for people who think their luck has run out. Because of the CROSS is for people seeking more peace in their life. They can find it when they begin to call on God. When we ask God for something, we must not expect it right now, but at his time. We should also listen for his answer.
