Temporary Tools
by James H. Lee Jr.

When battling the problems
And perplexities of life,
Engaging in survival
Against the toil and strife,

We need to sometimes ponder
The scope of life, and things,
And realize how blest we are,
The joy that living brings.

Though life be filled with problems,
We should not fail to see
That obstacles and trials
Help shape our destiny.

For he whom God has chastened,
He loveth as a son,
And tempereth his spirit
In trials, one by one.

No man is worth a grain of salt
Whose life is never tried,
Who has not fought and conquered,
And spanned the great divide

That lies 'twixt earth and heaven,
To gain the victory
Of those who win the battle,
And shape their destiny.

Remember, trials and problems
Are temporary tools
To shape Telestial beings into
God's Celestial jewels.
James H. Lee Jr.
