I wrote this today as a response to something posted in "Open Poetry #10". It felt like it belonged on this board. It was not posted as a new topic and thus I hope I am not a dreaded "cross-poster"

--- Trust 'Til The End ---

Remember dear friend,
When you first rode a bike
Remember what fear of
Unknown was like.

Would you soar like the wind
And and conquer this ride
Would you tumble to earth
And helplessly cry

But someone was holding
The bike as they ran
Until they were sure
You were thinking "I can"

Life is like this
With the Father above
One day he lets go
And watches with love

He knows you might wobble
Perhaps even go down
But know for yourself
That he's always around

Some days you will feel
You can pedal no more
Just trust that he loves you
And you'll soon again soar.

Take hold and pedal
My troubled young friend
Keep straight your path
And trust till the end

< !signature-->

Some men see things as they are and ask "WHY ?" I see things as they could be and ask "WHY NOT ?"

Dear Lonely Stranger,

Yes, it belongs here as your words of love and wisdom were given to Amy, #10, private post, to bring her comfort; here, they will bring many comfort.

I need to remember this always. Illustrated so well, easy to relate as we learned to ride our bikes.  Thank you,  Marcy

Trust to the end... so true, and God is faithful to his word.

The real strength lies in trust and though it may seem to be the hardest thing to do at times but once you start and feel the strength in "him" then it becomes easier.

Yes, I remember being there for each of my children when they were learning to ride. Very well described. Thank you for sharing this wonderful thought of our Father being with us, Til the End.

LonelyStranger~
And just as we learn to trust those hands
that held the bicycle -
we learn that He is always there to hold our
hand
should we feel the need to be held again.

What a lovely inspiration you had and shared with us.
