My Crutch
Written by Janie Mathis

Some say to use a crutch
Makes a lesser soul,
Leaves spirits wanting,
Proving them un-whole

Say some to use a cane,
Only for the weak,
Thrown down to pity,
Discharge them as meek

But you can’t see My crutch
Or My hidden cane
Both which make me whole
More than they who feign

For on His cross I lean,
On His strength and love,
With His help I walk
Lifted from above

Janie, Beutiful! The only crutch we ever need! ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

This is marvelous. Way to go with this one!
Loved it. Marcy

On His strength and love,

   I believe that we All require a little support now and then.  I think it's a good thing to lift one another up when we have opportunities...  I feel as if perhaps we carry a very similar cross?  Thank you for sharing, Bob <><

Wow, I almost missed this one!  So many unbelievers say our belief is only a crutch and I love how you used that to agree that we indeed do lean on His love.  Very nicely done.
