Rough Beginning

Sometimes when you are a missionary you are inspired to write poems about the people you love :)

There was a husband and wife
Who had a hard life
Little children to look over with care
Still mother and father were in a type of despair
Then one day came a knock on the door
Two sister missionaries
Mom said " come back and share more"
Weeks went by and the appointment came near
Two new sisters said
"Hello we are here!"
Prayers were answered tears were shed
Yet still this family had a long road ahead
Every night they tried scriptures and prayer
I'm sure they wondered if it was going anywhere
Temptations came freely
And satan sank deep
Yet this family worked hard to stay on their feet
"Dear Lord!" they cried!
"We are doing our best!"
"Didn't you send your Son to make up the rest?"
"I sure did!" God replied
As he sent more angles to stand by their side
Temptations dwindled
And Christ burned bright
For he alone was their saving light
Now they see a rough beginning makes for a marvelous eternity
