BECAUSE THERE IS A GOD
We'll always have another dawn when morning ends the night. We'll always know this world o f ours w ill somehow turn out right. A peace w ill strangely fill our hearts when weaiy w ork is done, and though the storm is long and rough, a bright new day will come. Because there is a God, I'm sure we'll always have a smile, and somehow we w ill find a way to make each day mean worthwhile. A friend w ill bring us endless joy and love w ill live through all. W e'll have a W inter wonderland where snowflakes softly fall. I do not know why days are sad, why life must bring a care. 1only know that God above is ever watching there. A nd sometimes though my heart can't smile, though dark the road I
trod, I always find my way at last, because there is a God. - Garnett Ann Schultz
