Perspective

We,re too far from our praying when we should seek out his face. We're too long, deep in mourning when the heart should feel God's grace. We're too long keeping silent when the voice inside says, 'why?' We're too long sitting dormant when the body cries out, 'try.' We're too soon apt to follow when we should go forth and lead. We often say, 'tomorrow,' when it's now that people need. We're too soon prone to argue when to whisper wins the day. We're too slow to the rescue when a child is in the fray. We're too soon prone to crying when each prayer is answered, friend. We're too long slaves to fears and yet the soul is quick to mend. We often think of having, and forget where need is great. We often hear those hurting and should be there to relate. We're too slow being contrite when our knees is where we pray. We often beg to see light when God's here to lead our way. We often act so selfish when we need to do what's right. By learning what to cherish we will always stand upright. Perspective 11-26-14
