Throughout my life there have been hills,
Each one climbed,
Some easily,
Others harder,
Until I came to the one,
The one that could not be climbed.
I looked at it,
I worried,
I decided to dig,
To dig through the hill,
Make a tunnel beneath.
It was hard,
So hard I nearly gave up,
But came that day,
That day when I dug through.
I was so tired
But so relieved.
As I now look back,
Look back at the tunnel,
I am now free,
Free to move on,
To move on with freedom,
Into my new found life.

Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ Loved the metaphor ! Reminded me of the CHOURUS !
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable
Got any Mountaines you cant tunnel through
God specialises in things thought impossible
We all have Mountains iin our Lives but ~ so far ~ Angela & I have found that by dilligence and Prayer most problems can be eased or even solved. You have been a great example to us in your relationship with your Lovely Wife JOYCE. Friends of ours have shared the initial Pain when one in a Marriage has to leave the Family Home and go into care. You have shared a similar situation with us. Because you are happy that JOYCE is in Loving hands ~ and you are able to visit her regularly ~ your memories are intact & precious and you are FREE to start a NEW phase of your life ~ knowing that you have always done your very best for JOYCE in every circumstance ! You & Joyce are on our Prayer list every day ~ it is a pleasure to know you and we pray ~ that both your futures will be blest ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOUR Lovely JOYCE
Love in the Spirit ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
