Heavy Loads

 When you feel a burden lifted
 As inner peace fills your soul
 It is truly a blessing
 When this feeling takes hold

 Some carry burdens of anxiety and fear
 Which can imprison them within,
  others may be burdened by addiction
 Which is truly a heavy load 
 
 There is a higher power
 that can free you from these burdens,
 Go to the Lord in prayer
 and he will relieve your heavy load
 and give you peace of mind

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/4/2024 7:49:00 PM Hello Joe, Your poem eloquently speaks to the weight we all carry sometimes. The image of inner peace lifting a burden is beautiful. There's comfort in knowing there's help available – a higher power, prayer, a sense of calm. Your poem focuses on faith which is first and foremost, I too believe strength comes from the Lord. The key is finding Him to help make those burdens a little lighter. Thank you for sharing this message of hope, Joe. - Blessings, Daniel Login to Reply
