There are Those

There are those ...
Who have encouraged me
Through the pages of a book,
And others, with compassionate eyes,
Portrayed in just a look.

There are those...
Who, with a gentle touch,
Conveyed a Christian care.
I knew, without a word, my name
Would be mentioned in their prayer.

There are those ...
Who brought a word from God,
With Spirit revealed truth.
Along life's path they're sprinkled,
Way back from my youth.

I pray the world will always have
These warriors. Though it seems,
These days, the road is weary
With long way in between.

When I look inside myself,
I hope that I have been
Someone used to encourage
And to be a special friend.

For, I've received such blessing!
To pass it on is good;
To be a faithful warrior like
Our Savior said we should.
