FALL

With life comes a mass of chains quite big
Much heavier than a single twig
All of the chains are a heavy haul
If one slips, one may fall

So with these chains
Comes a thing, not at all a fraud
The thing that comes is faith in God
If you allow yourself to see his light
The chains won't grip onto you so tight
Slowly, that heavy load
Will fall off sometime down the road

But if one falls along the way
A failure; some may say
And again the chains will grow
But when faith in God is strong
He will surely know
That the ones who doubted him
Were wrong

This is very nice.  God will always help us with our chains, if we ask.  Joyce

"..that heavy load will fall off somewhere (d)own the road"  I'm sure it's a typo with the 'd' missing.  This reminds me that God won't spare us trials, but will see us through them.  Thank you for putting it in imagery we can relate to.

Cowboy at Heart,

A good poem with a great message... to me your poem emphasizes the need for friends to help us with those heavy loads or to help break those chains that drag us down... We all have chains my friend, but Jesus holds all the keys... I believe expression is one good way to loose some of those burdens.  Keep on writing the good word and God bless You,  Bob <><
