Symphony of Life

Author Daryl L. Peterson loves his country and the military that serves it; he enjoys baseball and joking with family and friendshe has written poetry all his life. This collection is in honor of his father, John J. Peterson, a man who went quietly through the noise, hate, disappointments and sorrows of life and did not become bitter and who taught Daryl what life was all about. So May It Ever BeIf God should beckon us this dayWith His love and outstretched hand,And he should whisper softly to usAs He leads us to that promised land,Fear not, as you journey down this road,Even though the path you do not know. For I comfort those who are left behindWith this promise, we take leave and go. One who makes such a supreme sacrificeWill meet with angels unaware. As he or she trods down this pathOn one of lifes busy thoroughfares. God renews our faith and lifts us upAnd gives to us brighter and higher goals,For when God is with each one of usIt tends to still our distressed souls.
