Opportunity or Tragedy?

by Cheryl Merrick

The baby,
damaged in body and mind,
needs his parents
to unite in faith
and devote their lives
to caring for him.

A woman lies ill,

restricted in body,
she spends her time
counseling and teaching.

Her children
learn faith from her example
and develop self reliance.
Her husband
touches greatness
as he spends his life
serving her.

A young father dies

suddenly in a car accident.
Extended family provide
support and new spiritual direction
to the widow and children.

Tragedy or opportunity?

The choice is ours.
