We Have
No Promise
Joyce Porter

We have
no promise in this life
There are
many who need to hear it
That secures
us a safe journey
Their life
here is incomplete
He said
he would be with us
Unless
we are there and willing
From now
until eternity
With our
own words and sung to our
This faith
does sustain us
There is
no place to stop it
We live
by it day by day
Our march
must go on
As for
hope of a tomorrow
Thank God
those jewels will be waiting
He said,
"I am with you all the way"
When we
sing our final song
So we give
birth to our children
You must
show strength to Jordan
With love,
hope, and a great plan
Whose love
for them was shared
That they
will grow and develop
He also
lost abundantly
Into a
kind woman or a happy man
He needs
to know someone cares
In nurturing
these precious angels
His life
must go on normal
In the
rules for a good life
Or as a
teenage life should be
We also
work long hours and study
With that
glow he always carries
How to
raise them with less strife
He'll soothe
your pain, wait and see
They experience
chicken pox and measles
Yes, I
know, I have children
Those mumps
were no fun
And, yes,
I'm also aware
But we
grew closer and closer
That no
one can take their places
While nursing
illness from dark to sun
Not anyone
can fill their chair
Oh, we
look at them so often
But all
of you can pull together
As we think
to ourselves
In hidden
discreet form
How did
I ever deserve this child
And can
fill your longing
Seems a
fantasy just like - little elves
For those
guys that have gone on
But sometimes
these things will happen
You can
help those who are struggling
We cannot,
but do try, to understand
Who try
to reach a higher goal
To lose
the precious jewels
By teaching
them the values
Is like
taking a drummer from a band
You taught
those darling souls
How we
then come to realize
Now the
fact that your children will be
That our
life must go on and on
When you
someday arrive
That he
sent us all for a reason
Should
always make you celebrate
We must
reach out and sing our song
When reminded
of those precious eyes
