Life Goes On

poem by: Joshua JayShades Legister
Written on Nov 27, 2024

Hey you, how are you feeling today?
Better than yesterday, or just the same way?
Did you eat, or maybe you didn’t
Went to bed hungry, but still you’re here, resilient.

Was it cold where you slept, or far too hot?
Did you find warmth in a blanket or warmth you forgot?
A hot shower, a cold bath
Life finds its way along the narrowest path.

Bills unpaid, the knock at the door,
Bailiffs calling, but you’ve been here before.
A job promotion, or another rejection
Life marches on in every direction.

A country at peace, or a country at war,
Family divided, or love restored.
Marriages crumble, couples engage
Life pens its story on every page.

And still, we rise, come what may,
One more step, into another day.

We don't have to let life get us down if we have the Lord Jesus Christ around to see us through: The good times or the bad times the happy times or the sad times. Into each life some sunshine and some raindrops do fall. But Jesus Christ is really Lord over all.
