His Presence...
  
 I may never live to see
 my life completely trouble free,
 or walk a straight and narrow road,
 and carry "not a heavy" load.
  
 I'll never see around a bend,
 or riches at the rainbow's end,
 but I can walk with head held high,
 and notice soft clouds drifting by.
  
 Feel the sunshine's warm embrace,
 the gentle breeze upon my face.
 I can hear a bird's sweet song
 beside each road I walk along.
  
 These things I feel, and hear, and see - 
 more clearly when God walks with me,
 for just "His presence" seems to bring
 about the best in everything.
