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 3-4-2024

So true are your words Joseph, burdens can be lifted by The Lord, some however, speak empty words and not from the heart and soul which h will immediately be seen and felt by Him. a really lovely poem. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Dear joseph, what a powerful and strong write this is, which we all sometimes need to read and hear, as faith gets us to places, and can lift so many burdens that we sometimes carry. Especially felt the lines “ Some carry burdens of anxiety and fear Which can imprison them within” how true! And profound! Pleasure always reading your work. Sending you light

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
