God is not in the business of giving us anything. He works through Holy Spirit to open our eyes to what we already possess.
I was first introduced to this poem in about 1976 by a co-worker, who had been a POW in Viet Nam for 6 years. He said this helped him get through the ordeal. I carried the copy of it, he had given me, in my wallet for YEARS, before it was too worn out to read.
Thank you.
“If’’ is the middle word in ‘’life’’.
I had to memorize this poem along with three others when I was in eighth grade...Chicago Public School system. I also had to pass a Civic test to graduate 8th grade. Chicago schools were excellent. My school had two people in the front office, the Principal and secretary, a teacher in each class and a janitor. Nothing fancy but turned out good students...this was in the late 50’s.
If is the middle word in life

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
You know I like it when the news is bad
I’m only happy when it rains
