It was a sad song by Donna Fargo
She stood there lookin’ in the mirror that discarded the reflection
Of the women she had pictured in her mind
And the make-up almost hid the traces of the wear and tear of life
On her face that you could read between the lines
About the unfulfilled dream that she spoke to me about,
Friendly, as if I were the only friend she had
And as I listened to her quietly talk about her life to me
Not knowing what to say, I felt bad
She sang a song with no music and words with no melody
Of all the bitter seasons of life
She was an unloved daughter, an unhappy mother
But was left off an unwanted wife
How many out there look back at their unfortunate life and share such pain? Life is cruel to the vast majority of individuals. Why? Only the Bible has the answer for the cause, but thankfully it also provides the solution. We don’t have to die with that grief.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Give it some thought.
