The weight of my walk

It has been some time
since I cut onions.
I forgot;
they make you cry.

This world tends
to freeze dry
all of its wonderful flavors
grind them down and
package them pretty.

Easy to buy, easy to
use
but not
no never quite
as good
as the real thing.

Lord let me be real
let the weight
of my walk
be worth
the price You paid
for me.

Ah...being thankful
for all of our blessings,
even when
they make us cry
is something so easily overlooked
every day.

Keep writing.

Ohhhhhh! That is what he wants us to be..."real" in the sense He created each of us as an unique individual for a purpose...His purpose!

JB...you are awesome, just the way He intended you to be!

JB - often thought indeed
this is heard . . .
