The Strength to Stand

sometimes we can not
pick up our feet to move
through a world of traps
and darkness that consumes

we wrap up in lies
and cozy comforts
that eventually ruin us
and the world crumbles

my soul is has been weeping
for months it seems
years of spirit cry out
in joy and relief

for there is no time
but the present awaits
and no better life
than the one I have today

I fall down a lot
lose sight of what is true
I forget that Papa loves me
just as much as he loves you

how beautiful is grace
that even on days of sin
he picks up my feet
and we start again

for Papa is at my side
holding my hand
giving me peace
and the strength to stand

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    thanking God for all he does for us .for he caries the yoke and walks with us hand and hand. he is the man upstairs and the one who gave his Son that we might have eternal life and bask with God in the heavens above... beautiful and such a true pen.. thank you for sharing your words..Hugs Angel♥

    things in life we must go through to learn from
