I give up

hearing her words
in pain, at a loss
wondering where to turn
saying, “I give up”,
not knowing what to do

not always words of failure
though the world would tell us so
sometimes these words
words of hope,
of our faith

turning our cares over
our concerns, our doubts
leaving our prayers ever
trusting in him, leaving them
on the altar of the Lord
