Notes About The Poem
Written on June 18, 2025
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Never Contradictory
I don’t always say the right things
Words don’t always come easily to me
Revealing the way my heart quietly sings
Lifting the burdens too heavy to see
I don’t always reach out with grace
When I see a heart yearning, full of doubt
Yet, I know what it is to offer an embrace
To the souls who struggle to find their way out
I don’t always listen when I intend to ease pain
Listen and consider what it means to lend a hand
Sometimes I feel like it might drive me insane
This feeling of lacking – is my head buried in the sand?
I don’t always know what to say or do for someone
When they’re deeply hurt or doubting their ability.
But, thank God, I know – this bright morning SON
Who can offer them comfort, with such sweet humility
I don’t always have the faith that I would like to
Sometimes I don’t behave just the way I intend
But, through His grace, I have a hope that grew
From knowing there is love that will fully mend
With Him – the Holy One, God’s only Son
I know a peace beyond explaining, a quiet hope
From knowing that, whatever comes, Love has won
Because I know my Savior, I can always cope.
I don’t always know the answers, or the right solution
But I know a man named Jesus who arose in victory
To show the world that despite the worst persecution
There is hope beyond words, and it’s never contradictory!
