Gwen, The Storm is Over...

The Storm is Over, Gwen! 

Gwen, we can’t begin to say how proud we are of you!

You’ve raised your family all alone, plus finished your degree.

You’ve labored through your winter storms, when wind and snow were brisk;

But still you persevered alone, as God maintained your strength.

Sometimes you’d work twelve-hour days and come home burdened down,

but somehow mustered up the strength to forge on through the storm.

 

Demands of life would stress you out; your winter storms would rage—

with freezing hail and Ice and snow...all piled up in your face.

You’d shovel your assignments here...your work requirements there...

your children’s cares, piled ten feet high...sometimes, were hard to bear.

With time and finance challenges, your storms became intense;

But God was always in the midst to give a burst of strength.

 

You managed, well, your raging storm...with courage and with grace.

Two decades long, your storm would last; but you endured with class!

And now the brilliant sun shines through.  Your rainbow glows at last.

You’ve made it through with your degree.  The storm’s now at your back!

We’re so proud of you!

All our Love , Mom and Dad
