Poem: The Monument

When ever I am having a tough day I like to read this poem. It puts things into perspective for me. It helps me pick myself up and march on through life. Hope it will lift you up too. Enjoy.Coach Lora Ericksonwww.BlondeRunner.com God,Before He sent his children to earthGave each of themA very carefully selected packageOf problems,These,He promised, smiling,Are yours alone, No oneElse may have the blessingsThese problems will bring you.And only youHave the special talents and abilitiesThat will be neededTo make these problemsYour servants.Now go down to your birthAnd to your forgetfulness, Know thatI love you beyond measure.These problems that I give youAre a symbol of that love.These monuments you make of your lifeWith the help of your problemsWill be a symbol of yourLove for me.Your Father.Reference: Charlie's Monument by Blaine M.
