footsteps slow
normality’s pretense,
hard coming

standstill takes
control; alarm fosters
trepidation

fed by the lack of
divination, apprehension worries
life into fears that taunt
faith’s forbearance

tomorrow’s betrayal
waves gaudily as
today jackets itself
with guilt

survival begs
the loosening of
this encumbrance

one day at a time
is overfilled and
leaking

too many untold sorrows
to undertake the
weeping

beneath the weight
knees slip to
the floor

comfort is gifted
the burden
taken

not knowing becomes
a haven

in Him
Trust steps forward
as if normally
proceeding

Trust once more

Faith...so fragile...
yet so strong...

Holding you...

Sometimes the weight is enough to drive us to our knees.  Isn't it wonderful that the burden can be lifted.  Enjoyed this a great deal.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

You know the secret to happiness and success in life! It is to keep the faith and keep moving forward, one step at a time!

A very good message inherent in this moving piece of writing!

Warm hugs,
EA

I keep reading through this... and highlighting different portions... until all of it's highlighted! *S*

There is immense frustration in not knowing... but there's also comfort of leaving that knowledge in the hands of the only One who can effect real change...

You continue to define faith, my friend... and you do so beautifully. *S*
