The Plan

By Jack Parson

The day I first set eye upon the lady I would wed, I had no thought what great portent this meeting for me led. But God had plans for me that day

and guided every step.

As though I was enchanted, I couldn't but accept.

My life was set. He had a plan.

But how was I to know

That God directed me that day? He started long ago.

My love is gone and now I grieve.

I miss her oh so much.

But by God's grace, I plod along by his loving, gentle touch.

I do not know where God's great plan Will lead me from now on.

At last I know that He's in charge. I should have always known.

A MAN OF MANY TALENTS—'I wanted to be something. I didn’t know what. I only knew I wanted to do better,” Jack Parson said. From selling boiled peanuts on the street to becoming a successful business owner, he has done quite well. These days, he’s a poet.
