Without further ado, here is Molly's poem, Even So, I Praise You...
EVEN SO, I PRAISE YOU
by Molly McTernan
Sometimes I sit here lonely
Just me, my thoughts, my pen
And sometimes I sit together
Though I too feel alone then
Even so, I praise You
Sometimes my cup is half full
And I can’t hide my delight
Yet sometimes it’s half empty
But I still smile despite
Even so, I praise You
Sometimes bad things happen
And grief tugs at my heart
Oh, sometimes good things happen
I’m no longer torn apart
Even so, I praise You
Sometimes I sit on mountain peaks
Wind whistling through my hair
And sometimes I lay in valleys low
With memories pricking me there
Even so, I praise You
“It’s hard.” They say. “I know,” I reply
“But I trust what God has in store.”
His will stand firm above my life
Through ups and downs, therefore…
Even so, I praise You
