Courage To Trust

Missing image

Dispirited of life's battle,

tears descent.

Tribulation, trials

war never ending.



Bent knees in intercession,

eyes grow old with cares.

Wounded warrior

never retreating, enemies glare.



If time allows,

take her sworded hand.

Childlike faith, she 

seeks Your sheltering arms.



Morning joy comes,

finding trust upon

Daddy's face.

Author notes

I come to you defenses down with the trust of a child (Peter Gabriel)

For my mother in the face of adversy she is the strongest prayer warrior i know. Thank you mom for all the tears shed for me.

    You've chosen one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite songs and created a masterpiece! But I do think you mean "trials" instead of "trails" in the third line. Well done!! Thanks so much for taking the time to enter my contest. I’m honored to have you show your work here.
