I'm sorry you stayed

I'm sorry you stayed

in the face of #injustice;
I'm sorry you were #silent
when #evil took voice;
I'm sorry you stayed
when you knew what it cost them
stripped of what they knew
their place, their #life.

set the hills ablaze

set the hills ablaze
with #fire, #God's passion;
#Spirit fill our lives
with His #love, #compassion.

seek God, our heavenly Father
in this #Pentecost season;
offer hope to the others
the forgotten, the stranger.

Overcoming Fear - v2 was my 52,000th poem, all on this blog

overcoming fear – v2

fear a poison

sucking life from us

unwarranted trouble

tearing us down

fear can be healthy

warning us of danger

but fear can immobilize

chains on our lives

only in trusting God

we escape these chains

overcoming fear

that holds, that binds us
