Live the legacy that you father
left. He never gave up, and he fought his battle until the end. He always stated that....

WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

The God I know is a loving One
For us He sent His only Son
Proof of this I do not need
I have Faith...and I Believe

Yet at times I don't understand
The many things God may have planned
Or why things happen that shouldn't be
And indeed, God seems a mystery

Are there things I'm not supposed to know
Must my faith shake before it can grow
But in all times when doubt entails
It is God's love that never fails

So I may wobble, and even fall
With God's support I'll soon stand tall
No matter my cup be too empty, or full
Because with God...All Things Are Possible
