Strength in the pallor of the old tree's trunk,
As it reached to the light in the black of the night...
"God what's happening to me? ", she asks falling to her knee's.
"I feel as if I am dying when truly my life has barely begun,
I'm not yet old enough, a child in some eyes you see, and
I'm afraid...afraid to fight...afraid to go on."
"Child I put your life through these challenges to keep you going.
You will learn though your body is not healthy, your spirit is strong,
No longer will you be afraid to fight, nor afraid to go on."
And with these words she feels her burdens released
She hears God say...
Now comes another burdened man...experienced
In his old age...
"I come to you again Lord, as I have done so often before
So much I need to work, I need you to help me to help my faith grow.
I want to be strong in you Lord, I want to know right from wrong
Which you know I do but sometimes blinded by the ways of the world."
And His words sets this man weary-free...
Now, I am stuck in park
When my faith wants to be put in drive.
When I fail to put You on first, I haven't grown much enough,
When I do not trust people, failed to look at them in your image,
I have crucified you a million times...unworthy to be blessed.
When I look at these people, I Thank Thee, I am even fortunate
I come to seek ye, Lord so often asking a fervent help
I pass on my petitions for lots are more needy than I am
My sacred plea for the heavily laden, and the heavily burdened
Look down upon their weary eyes and send forth thy Holy Shield
And help myself grow more...
I make some spiritual progress daily, its about now and making the now of my life work. Its about making use of my wisdom however small or big it might be about making life work and doing the next right thing.
Patience over speed, to dig and delve and know this life we need to be present in it. We need not hurry spiritual as the patience we learn enables us to feel the gravitas Providence and Nature afford. As to where God features, most likely in the making
And in truth I am relieved of much pain in recent times so I have been able to be able to do the next right thing. And that is not to isolate and fret, it is to have courage and be open, its about getting wisdom by living in this present moment.
Today has been good, and yet its never quite what I might have visualised for me. And the good news is life is working to an extent, and imaginings are where they belong, smiles here as life is never quite as we might endeavour. Yet life is worth the endeavour today. Sometimes outlooks change and as my outlook is not from will but from hard endeavour, I am on a spiritual path.
