Old folk taught me this poem during my younger years and very useful during my older days!!!

Dr. Jacquelyn Simmons

God is my help in every need, God does my every hunger feed. God walks beside me, guides my way through every moment of the day. I now am wise, I now am true, patient, kind and loving too. All things I am, can do and be through Christ, the Truth, that is in me. God is my health-I can’t be sick. God is my strength unfailing quick. God is my all. I know no fear, since God and love and truth are here. (Anonymous).

The constant recitation of this poem helped to sustain me during my darkest hours while hospitalized and housed in the nursing home as far as I can determine, while on life support. God allowed the old folk in my life to prepare me for my old days. Are we preparing our children for old or present days today?
