The Rope

THE ROPE

One end anchored in faith, and
the other in the solid rock, Jesus.
 Fibers of love, mercy, hope, peace
strong strands interwoven.

A guide when the storms of
life beat against the soul.
A friend to grasp during the
deep drifts of depression.

It is always there for me,
never moving, never breaking.
I am the one who lets go, from
arrogance and self- centeredness.

Age has strengthened
my grip. I have no desire
to let go.
