Forgive Me, I Faltered

it didn’t start at zero
but began life as day one
tumbling, then crumbling
obliterating sun

by day two, still standing
in shock we walked along
moving, acting, breathing
then someone sang a song

forgive me, I faltered

now day three is close to end
on drive home, I saw
trees adorned red, white, blue
school grounds were dressed anew

e-mail messages were flying
from town to city to ‘burb
and everyone is swelling
to come forth with words

forgive me, I faltered

it took but a moment’s reprieve
and a voice, spoken in soft tone
tears began to well, then swell
and I, I am not alone

but God, please, allow the tears
for the ones who lost dears
for the ones who truly hurt
and God? here, here is my shirt…

forgive me, I faltered

find for my hands a duty or two
give me strength and then some
lift my spirit for the work
for in tomorrow, it shall come

and steady me as I falter
strengthen me from wavering
hold me up if I stumble
for freedom, I am savoring

allow me pause, now and then
to give You credit, as is due
though reasons are unknown to me
I place my trust in You

There are times we all falter...it's called being human...

(forgive the edit on your mis-spelled title. I felt you would want it done)

A good place to put your trust, and faltering is always forgiven. Wonderful Sunshine!

To falter is to learn... to retry... to succeed..

Thanks for making me feel I'm not alone! We will falter and he will pick us back up. Love and peace.

Sincerely,
Regina
