To Give Me Strength

In these times...

Echos sing out...

Mystified of the strength 

Many faithful...

Have pondered

Yet in my silence 

I have preceded prudently 

Discreet 

Not with the speech

That would rang hollow

From a broken heart

Though a personification 

Of truth and resilience 

Fortified by an deeply entrenched value 

Blossoming on the most horrific occasion

Faith

A trust in Jehovah 

Allowed and understanding 

In the thoughts of those that preceded me

This is my spirit's weakest hour

And yet...

And yet..

I've been strengthened 

When they say...in awe

You're holding up so well...

Just respond...

That's all God!

Allowing his holy spirit...

To give me strength...
