Obituary of Marvin Freeman

His Promise

God hath not promised 
Skies always blue, 
Flower-strewn pathways 
All our lives through; 
Sun without rain, 
Joy without sorrow, 
Peace without pain. 

But God hath promised 
Strength for the day 
Rest for the labor, 
Light for the way, 
Grace for the trials, 
Help from above, 
Unfailing sympathy, 
Undying love…
