The following poem was found in Rogene's Bible, edidted in her own hand. An Ordinary Day Today was just an ordinary day -- I went about my tasks the usual way; The path was one that I had often trod, there was no difference -- for I walk with God. Today was just an ordinary day And nothing special happened on the way, But oh, the inner joy you didn't see, Because I know my Saviour walks with me! Today was just and ordinary day, The usual work, and then a bit of play, But oh, the sense of peace at eventide To know that God and I walk side by side! 15
