Newness
Making every effort…
Sometimes sitting, in the front row.
Try as I might…
It is hard, not easy.
Write more, say more, be more!
Start with earnest prayer.
Be mindful and concerned,
as you have learned…
You have been burned…
The circus goes on,
the clowns laugh easy,
the lions eat people, and others watch.
It is scary…to try to be,
taller than a mouse,
larger than a house…
They will look at me,
they will not agree.
Yet, they long to be… “free”.
Fleeting wishes, of the heart,
scared to wander far…from the front door.
No! It is not.
It is Him, whispering to YOU.
Words you need to hear,
and they will make you tear…
crying out his name.
Born Again!
