Walking straight into this
I tried, but the strength of the
opponent shoves me
to my knees.

With feet out from under
I stumble face first
time and time again;

no longer have I the strength
or the willpower to
restore myself.

Compelled to recoil is not an
option; there remain those
that need me.

One at a time I pray  
five fingers’ protective cover;
He shelters me; I wait
for the worst to blow over.

"He shelters me; I wait
for the worst to blow over."

And it will dear lady...it will.
Still holding you in thought and prayers.

Yes, we do.
And we hope we give back to you,
as much as you have ever
given us.

Oh, my friend... I didn't know pain could be beautiful until I read your words... May your shelter protect... and calm come soon.

Hi jellybeans...I needed to read you this morning so I pulled up an older piece to look at. LOVE THIS! Man I am glad I found it. Well done...you truly express your feelings well. Your buddy - Kevin.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Having stumbled and felt abandoned myself a few times, I really feel your words here.
I pray all will be well for you soon dear poetess. hugs, Chris
