Battles - How Can You Count Them All Joy?
A Song and a Poem
Battles.
How can you count them all joy?
Emotions turned into a toy.
Heart pounding.
Enemy's cries resounding.
Battles.
How can you count them all joy?
Strength to embolden and employ.
Mind bouncing like a ping pong ball.
My enemy sure has wicked gall.
Battles.
How can you count them all joy?
Because I know he cannot destroy.
Temptation rises with the moon.
These trials caused my heart to prune.
Battles.
How can you count them all joy?
Faced them even as a young boy.
What truly lies on the other side of them?
In deep waters I continue to swim.
Battles.
How can you count them all joy?
The tempter is rotten and viciously coy!
I now have a Friend who has been tried.
I now have a Friend in whom I will always confide.
