The Survivor
By Rich Reith

The one she loves
Seems far away.
With heavy heart
She starts her day.

Life's path is new.
She cannot see
The road ahead
To eternity

But God has plans
For hearts like hers.
While love for him
Inside still stirs.

She has lives to touch
And joy to bring,
Tears to dry
And songs to sing.

On her journey,
His soul nearby,
She takes each step
With head held high.

With trust in God,
Her children's love,
With strength of heart,
Drawn from above.

Her husband's proud
Her love's alive.
Though he is gone
Her dreams survived.

All blessings flow,
All joys received,
All days come full -
Cause she believed.
