Keep Moving On

Extra committed; yet excommunicated. Highly dedicated; yet not facilitated. Denied, despised, and dismissed. Though devoted; yet demoted. Disappointed and disrespected. Devalued and disapproved. We feel the strong and mighty winds gusting across the coastal waters of our subdued and gentle spirit. We see tornado winds rushing down into the deepest portals of our bewildered soul, uprooting our lives and leaving us in the cold. We are listening to those drum beats of darkness and death, resounding ever so loudly to grind us into the ground. Even though we may be wearing thin, we gain courage from our God and our friends and continue on until the end. Yes, it's hard to drink that bitter cup. But let us not give in, out, or up. Just carry on; we are not alone. Stay in the race and keep a smiling face. Inhale, exhale, but do not depart or exodus. Keep connected to the God we trust. Continue believing and being kind. And remember well, that sometimes, troubling times is a must for all of us. 05112017FBPHPSContest, Best Rhyming, John Hamilton; NA
