Lord
I am tired of pushing this merry-go-round
I am out of breath
The never ending trips around it’s circumference
Are wearing me down
I am stuck in the rut I feel
My own feet have made
I feel like I am caught in
A track that has no end
Seeming it goes on for eternity
Caught in a centrifugal force
Can I escape it’s gripe?
Can my hands let go of the bars?
If so
Will I be hurdled head first
Into another realm?
Will the new realm
Be any less stressful?
Will the reason for my continued endurance
Be for any better reason?

My Lord says
I will help you push
The spinning will go on
For as long as it is necessary
The reason
Is not yours to know
On this earthly realm
My love endures

When it is time for you to let go
The spinning of the circle
Will slow
I will take your hand,
Gently help you
Out of the circular path
That you have trod
I will let you rest in my arms
Only then will I show you the reason why
Your efforts were required

For now we see through a glass darkly but then, face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known, and now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but, the greatest of these is love.
