Sometimes,
A wallop catches
us
Off guard
a card, dealt
under the table
Unfairly,
perhaps,
A nasty slight
of hand
Strong enough to
numb
And cast us abroad
Into an endless
sea of fear and doubt
Tossed about
Helpless to do
anything but
Barely hold our
heads above water
It may be bad
news, a crushing loss,
Circumstances
that lay us flat
Render us unable
to even clear our mind
We find
We have no idea
who we are or where we’re headed
We struggle – aimlessly,
even fiercely -
But to no avail
For the headwind
is strong and we…
Clearly, we see
Are not strong
enough nor brave enough
To weather the
storm alone
This storm,
anyway
Sometimes,
They say to “let
go and let God”
And yes, it may
be best to
Let go of all
that we cannot control
With the final
goal
To be rid of worry,
fear, and fitful tossing…
But HOLD ON!
What of the
times where you stand a chance
To gain a
foothold, a toe hold, a sliver of hope-hold?
With a glimmer beyond,
hold on for dear life
With all that is
in you and know
That others reach
out to hold on to you
With love,
caring, hope, and faith
We hold on to
each other because
That is what we
are meant to do
And HE holds on
to all of us
Who seem to need
a reminder of this
Sometimes…
There's an opportune time to do things,
a right time for everything on the earth...
A right time to search and another to
count your losses.
A right time to hold on and another
to let go…
Whatever was, is
