Shall We Go On

Jesus...He waits patiently, because He Loves us! Amen.


Shall we go on?
...came…His…tender inquiry
She didn’t answer...intent on remaining
in the shadowed dregs of her brokenness
And He allowed her to do so…
because He loved her…
and understood
So, He waited…
while she bewailed the unfairness of the times,
the cruelty of acts oppressive, the heaviness...
of it all!  …He waited…as
She delved further into her complaints…even… 
pointing a finger at Him…yet, He waited…
and never…
not for a moment…did He leave her side
Then, somewhere, in the interim’s timelessness
her angst and sobs subsided…
She lifted her eyes, acknowledged His Presence
and reached…
for His outstretched Hand
From Him…flowed…renewed Faith and Strength 
…she smiled…
           And…They Went On

I read this poem twice. The first time I wondered if I understood it. The second time I knew I did. Wonderful poem--thank you!

Yes, He is always waiting for us to come to Him. We want our own way and our own devices, but something always brings the Child of God back. I enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
