Someone Is Holding Me

I felt my legs falling many a times and managed to steady them from the frailties of life. Someone is holding me. Three times I awoke trapped In my bed. I tried to cry out my body numb instead Someone is holding me My mind is awakened, but I can't move my hands, is it paralysis am I suppose to be dead? I think I'm still here, are you? Someone is holding me My eyes are awake, I don't see any gates any clouds, or angels, just a blank slate. am I starting over, but I'm still awake Someone is holding me I need to get up for my work is not done I lifted a finger and then a thumb. I awake from my dream, no longer numb, paralyzed by what our world has become. Someone is holding me Is it you???

Dear Yolanda, This is a well-developed poem. I like how you led me to wonder where we were going in this together, me with you, trying to get going in this crazy world. Yes, Someone is holding us in His hand and heart, keeping us sane! Congratulations on POTD

Congratulations on your POTD, front page pic. That same Someone is holding a lot of us, sustaining us for His glory and honor until our destiny is done. Thanks for sharing, Yolanda.
