Bring Your Burden

Life has hidden snares. Men are unaware. As you go your way, If you really care, You will always pray. Whistle a song On your way home. And keep yourself, Out of harms way. Pray a bit. Then you take. Your burden... Leave it At the Cross! *For the contest

Bring your burden and leave it on the cross. I like that. I need one of those crosses. Currently, I put my burdens on my shoulder. They get heavy. It's true, many are unaware that there is an answer for them. More simply, hope.

Marty, I like this piece. I often think how just a zig or zag in the wrong direction can be life altering. Of course--there is a randomness to events that can not be avoided and for which there is no use worrying. Thank-you for your comments the other day.

I try to read at least five poems every morning and comment. Guess who was number five. I'm glad I saved the best for last. Thank you for the inspirational message before I head off to work. Excellent piece best of luck in the contest.
