Gary R. Ferris Poems

Back to Poems Page

When things are hard and troublesome,

And life for you looks dim;

Bills and debts grow daily,

And finances seem to slim.
*****
The car won’t start and kids are sick,

And the ground’s too hard to hoe;

The breads all gone, the water shut off,

And still the corn won’t grow.
*****
Your mate is gone, friends are few,

And sorrow fills your soul;

There seems to be no end in sight,

And your days are black as coal.
*****
Nothing one can say or do,

Can ease the pain you feel;

As life goes on, you just get worse,

And soon you will be ill.
*****



The only advice I’d give to you,

Is stand and don’t give in;

For Satan has come to destroy you,

And force you into sin.
*****
He lies and hits you with all he has,

And tells you, you will loose;

He craftily tries to wear you down,

So him, you will choose.
*****
But be of cheer and never quit,

For short is Satan’s time.

Keep your faith and be repaid,

With interest on the dime.
*****
