Speaking her dreams – v3

Asking a question, joining in conversation,
Conquering her reserve, her reticence,
A smile forming on her young face,
talking about her future, a promise,
what will surely come to pass…
 
Learning so much, so deeply,
Drawn, encouraged from her shell,
Her loved one’s coaxing, wooing her,
to share her aspirations, her goals,
speaking aloud her dreams of calling…
 
Finding her resolve, her focus,
Her purpose to do meaningful work,
A dream to change the world, hope,
to defeat the scourge of cancer,
this blight upon our lives…

more rocks – v5

We add more rocks, stones,

saying yes too quickly,

not discerning the tasks

which are a calling of God

Saying yes without question

more rocks for the journey,

as if carrying more rocks will earn us

a place in heaven above

in our wagon – v3

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,

the weight in our wagon

in not trusting in God

we become tired, sore.

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 true 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

the yoke is actually light

that which God gives us

to carry in this life,

using our gifts for the kingdom

for the glory of God

the illness the world

our control, the illusion

that we govern the path

in the cure He offered

healed in submission
