when we cry out to God
tired on the journey
losing joy in the process
feeling like it is too much
carrying too great a load
in truth it is ourselves
seeking to help others
in not trusting in God
we become tired
the weight in our wagon
the yoke becoming too heavy
carrying rocks, stones that are not
ours to carry, not our gifts
which God has given us
for the tasks on our path
when we accept the requests
bearing others’ burdens
their call from God
we become tired ourselves
carrying stones that are
not ours to carry
when the yoke is light
that which God gives us
to carry in this life
using our gifts for the kingdom
for the glory of God
