and not be weary

this promise, these words,
of ancient scripture
that we will not be weary
on the journey of faith
sometimes a struggle
in our humanness
to fly and not falter
to run and not be tired
to walk and not be weary
on our journey of faith;
but our hope is in the journey
in the walking yoked to Christ
choosing the path,
the way of the cross
life in that journey
in righteous struggle
choosing the way
where Christ has led.
