Everyone Always Grieves

Everyone Always Grieves

If you stand tall and protrude,
Self more then likely may delude,
But if praying with head bowed
More easily will mingle in the crowd.

If much better want to be,
God said leave it up to me,
I am both trunk, branches and leaves,
Without me everyone always grieves.

James Thomas Horn

Poem: Is It Just Me

Sometimes poems that are short
and straight to the point are always
the best ones. God has several of
them in the Bible. As a matter of
fact, Bible is full of them.

so true however it does seem the same ALWAYS GRIEVE about something in their lives. Whether is be loved ones lost, fear of the unknown, or just that they don't like how things are going for them
