PINCH ME

Pinch Me..

Pinch me please.. Is my life for real ??
Am I in a dream or is this life the REAL DEAL ??

Happy and content.. Healthy and strong..
Beautiful six grown kids and several grandkids to tag
Along ..

A wonderful marriage of 40 plus years to Larry..
Some say it would not last.. Fooled them.. I'll continue to tarry..

So many years of hardship we endured..
We stuck it out.. Now we are happy for sure..

I believe most people would have given up with everything
In our past..
But not us.. We fought through each hardship and difficulty
To make it last ..

I feel sorry for people when they give up so easily on
Each other..
After each hurdle and mountain
We climbed ..
We became much stronger and  closer..I am so glad we
Bothered..

I cannot imagine my life without my husband and Life's
Partner, Larry..
We shouldered and grew with each burden we carried..

We also didn't have perfect children as they grew up..
Each one was a challenge ,
But we never gave up ..

They all turned out well..
All six, I can assure as I tell..

They may not be Dr's or Lawyers
In this life, but who cares..
I'm proud of them all .. They are successful I say as I share..

Life is not always a bed of roses
I'm here to proclaim..
In that bed are thorns, it's true
But I'm not ashamed ..

It's the thorns that made us stronger with each tribulation and trial..
And the faith and prayers I lifted, for that was my style..

I prayed and I cried to the Lord with each situation ..
I left it to Him to tend and help for they were His creation..

He is not done with us either, I know that for certain..
Not til the day he draws my final life's curtain..

"Trust and Obey" .. I am still learning this lesson..
I am grateful and happy for I believe I have His blessing..

Thank You for each one of your answers I've heard..
I know and I hear you, for I am secured..
I know You and feel you and know I am yours..


I am surrounded by your presence each day and night ..
Regardless of my circumstances
Of my earthly plight..

Thank you for watching over me and giving me this family..
May I always remember and praise you forever in this life or facsimile ..
