Treated her to lunch.
She is an incredible woman, still
Sharp and spry at 94.
As I always do, I asked our server if
She had a prayer request.
"I'm trying to figure out life, " the
Young gal shared.
I turned to my seasoned sister.
"What advice would you give Marie?"
Without hesitating Helen said, "I've
Learned to let go of my problems and
Let God handle them.
They're too big for me.
Let go and let God."
Helen's long productive life
Demonstrates the truth of her
Advice.
The obstacles she has overcome are
Monumental.
As a young person she skied to freedom
From her communist occupied country.
She has persevered through heartache.
She keeps fit.
She is my inspiration.
I hope Marie takes Helen's words to heart.
I've tucked them inside mine.
