    I love your quotes.

    Here's a poem that made me think of you. A friend posted it on FB saying it's from "Climbing, a book by Rosalind Goforth, wife of Jonathan Goforth, missionary to China. It describes her reasons for writing about her and her husband's life--to encourage others who are climbing the same path that they climbed. It's a cry of encouragement to keep on. It doesn't say who wrote the poem, so I can give no credit."

    CALL BACK!

    If you have gone a little way ahead of me, call back--
    'Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track;
    And if, perchance, Faith's light is dim, because the oil is low,
    Your call will guide my lagging course as wearily I go.

    Call back, and tell me that He went with you into the storm;
    Call back, and say He kept you when the forest's roots were torn;
    That when the heavens thundered and the earthquake shook the hill,
    He bore you up and held you where the very air was still.

    O friend, call back and tell me, for I cannot see your face;
    They say it glows with triumph, and your feet bound in the race;
    But there are mists between us, and my spirit eyes are dim,
    And I cannot see the glory, though I long for word of Him.

    But if you'll say He heard you when your prayer was but a cry,
    And if you'll say He saw you through the night's sin-darkened sky--
    If you have gone a little way ahead, O friend, call back--
    Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track.
