I love you and miss you,
As my joy and my crown;
Your loyalty is true,
A smile from a frown.
Keep your relationship,
Very strong with the Lord;
So you will never trip,
If He is not ignored.
I encourage that you,
To have the attitude;
Enabled to construe,
Not getting bold or rude.
You have fought the good fight,
In spreading the Good News;
So others see the light,
Helping them as to choose.
Be joyful in the Lord,
I say always be joyful;
Being in one accord,
Remaining merciful.
Let everyone know,
How unselfish you are;
Being able to show,
In being a shining star.
Worry not of a thing,
Nothing to be anxious;
Because what it will bring,
To make you obnoxious.
In all situations,
Let God know in your prayer;
His evaluations,
Everything you share.
Give thanks to get His peace,
More than you can conceive;
Anxiety will cease,
The blessings you receive.
Practice what you have learned,
Keep thoughts on what is right;
Peace of mind you have earned,
For developing insight.
