Gauntlet To run the gauntlet of this life Each step brings another lash Stinging pain as the eyes are blinded by bitter tears But standing alongside every tormentor is an Angel of Light Soothing our pain with softly spoken words of strength Unseen ministers of His perfect love Carrying us when we fall Guiding us forward to that perfect day When He will wipe our tears from our eyes © 5/7/00 Gary Pence "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." - anonymous |

Gary; You have written exactly what I need to hear today. I've given my resignation with 2 weeks notice. I have a week and a half to go. I have to face the enemy today, but instead I'll picture that angel by her side. Thank you so much!!! Ellie P.S. this is so beautifully written!!! 02 |

Jonas, Your poem flows in a wonderful way speaking of divine help and protection against the threat of evil. What wonderful comforting thoughts to behold and to take hold -especially will the battle warms us. Thank you for this one. David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |

On earth we shall have trials and tribulation, but how much easier it is to cope with and find meaning in when we're with the Lord. You've made that point so beautifully in your peice. Bless you. |

Thank you for your wonderful replies everyone. And I take inspiration from your words, knowing that He held the pen that wrote this poem. "A poet is someone who is astonished by everything." - anonymous |
