He came to me in a time of need
…or so I thought and felt indeed.
A time of sadness mixed with a little lonely
I thought I would be his “one and only”
I wasn’t though, for this you shall see
I wasn’t enough, or at least that was my decree
I couldn’t have changed its failure or events
My mental health weaved me into lives I wished to prevent
I had always been aloof, barely held afloat in my life
‘Til I met him and thought I found a cure to my strife
A permanent love that would never fail me or hurt
Until the day I found my heart lying in the dirt
I chose a different faraway instead of an end
It was a battle my heart was not strong enough to contend
As he walked away it cracked and inside it peeled
To be frank, it’s still not healed.
It can definitely take a while, Sister…I’m nearly 70, still hoping for “it” all to go away. That’s a big reason my faith is golden to me–keeps me afloat. Much love, Z

I definitely look forward to the moment when the faith takes the weight off of all of my “its”. My baggage is very heavy. Much love Sister!

We all carry a heavy load of one kind or another–that’s why the Lord tells us to cast our burdens on HIM ❤

I’m getting better about it. It’s a new form of discipline for sure 🙂

One thing that helps me is to use visual action: I cup my hands with the burden in them, and physically cast/toss it toward the picture of Jesus above my desk. 🙂
