Still Holding Strong







The rickety bridge holds steady 
underneath his bare dusky feet. 
Un-sturdy but still fastened,    
the darkling waters do waver. 
He prays, then crosses over.

We should always find a way around every issue or stagnation. A bridge was built so it can be destroyed. But the ones we create by ourselves, they stay.

If we keep Hope alive and we pray fervently, the burden is often lighter and our feet are more steady when we cross that fragile bridge. Thanks for reading Daniel
