Rope's End

Hold onto what is right
Let the unimportant frayed, fragments fall
Hope for hope's sake
Stare into renewal
Leave, cares away
Leave?

Let the rough edges drag sometimes is all one can do, but hold on to what one knows is right is the key. "Having done all to stand, stand therefore!! (Eph. 6:13&14) God bless, Doris, Sincerely, Love, Moses
