This poem was sent to me, hope it will be a blessing to you.

Inspiration
By: Dr. Amos K. Wells

When I'm tired, the Bible is my bed;
Or in the dark, the Bible is my light;
When I am hungry, it is vital bread;
Or fearful, it is armour for the fight;
When I am sick, 'tis healing medicine;
Or lonely, thronging friends I find therein.

If I would work, the Bible is my tool;
Or play, it is a harp of happy sound.
If I am ignorant, it is my school;
If I am sinking, it is solid ground.
If I am cold, the Bible is my fire;
And wings, if boldly I aspire.

Should I be lost, the Bible is my guide;
or naked, it is raiment, rich and warm;
Am I imprisoned, it is rages wide;
Or tempest-tossed, a shelter from the storm.
Would I adventure, 'tis a gallant sea;
Or would I rest, it is a flowery lea.

    I LOVE MY BIBLE!! I haven't been able to read it as much lately due to my prescription being so bad in my glasses. After I read a little bit my eyes get tired and I have to quit cause all the letters run together and become blurry. I miss reading as much as I want to. I try to do it on the computer and that doesn't help much more. But I have new glasses coming in a week and I can't wait!! I will even be able to read the phone book again!! YEA!! I know that sounds silly but that is really frustrating to me.
