Struggling My Way
(No E's Challenge)

I run with all my might
in this dark of night
knowing...your trap
will still lay on its victim

From within a struggling soul
I shout, I cry out loud
For though my spirit is fighting on
my body is giving up ...

I think of a bird with
no wings to fly ...

Oh Lord, lay your hands upon my plight
Say I put not a losing fight

At this brink of my captivity
I will, I can
stop for you,
just to pray
that a Saviour's light
will show His way

~I hold no doubt~

slowly,
gradually,
vividly

In my sight a doorway's built
A soothing call of comfort
stirs in my soul...

"Afraid not my child,
Walk through it with
a stronghold of faith
knowing I stand awaiting
to hold your hand"

Have no doubt and your fight will be sucessful.  Faith does wonders.

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

Mycafe...An excellent verse with no E's at all!  I am amazed!  Astounded!  And I still use E's!  Wasn't easy, but you DID IT!

mycafe - wonderful write without the E's. Tried it myself, but no luck yet. It's tougher to do than one thinks...
