The Last Straw

The last straw ~ always waiting demeaning our relay, the disappointment's mating as others "get their way!" That word not spoken, ladeling our hope ~ now quick, abrupt, the reward we were cradeling snatched from our bosom's cup! If scars of crucifixion were meant to not disrupt, the last straws revolution is bearing "long enough!" And all the last straws build up so surely I have wept, could almost fill the manger ~ where Jesus Christ had . . . slept!
