BRAVING THE CURRENT

For Jan And Gary


Life is not easy, even when it's easy
or so it seems


And when we make big mistakes
it can seem to be the end of our dreams


Gary made mistakes, one after the other
they piled up, then he crashed, all so abrupt


Years it has been at his young age
spent behind bars, pain, sorrow and rage


The Lord has been there for him, never failed
turning to Him at times, others on his own he sailed


Then there was a turning as family and he prayed
he found he could turn his life around, though in prison stayed


There were ups, happy, and downs so very low,
he wondered if this roller coaster would ever slow


Then a letter came, from a woman who
had read his writings, thoughts and times he rued


They corresponded, commiserated on life and it's woes
seeking to gain higher ground, onward they would go


So much in common from mistakes and pain
they knew the Lord could help them joy to gain


Falling in love with each other then came
they shared the joy and excitement, feeling the same


Life is not easy, nor will it be so,
the current is strong, against it they must go


Jan became his wife, after much prayer and talk
With the Lord as their guide, hand in hand they now walk


~~~~


Many of you know and are praying for Gary
Though still in prison, he and Jan were married
April 5, 2002, I have provided a link to Gary's
words of this joyful part of his life for you who
are interested in reading it. Thank you for your prayers.

Love and Hope, sharon
