Weakness Exposure
Dominating beyond my weakness' pile
Miss Distress emerges with annoying smile…
Radiating pressures’ enigmatic guile
Exposing my grievous reaction file
Midst what I testify as anti-stress tenacity style.
Then there's Slothful Lassie, lying upon carnality's crest
Oh, yes... she's seducing me to enjoy vanity rest
Toying with my pleasurable mirth of leisure’s zest…
Rekindling hearty moments' win over anguish-test
Whispering, "Too much toil robs you from triumph’s harvest."
Anyway, Mr. Reality Check, midst signals sending
Prudently asserts what he's unceasingly reminding
"Your faith fortitude's steadfastness God is upholding…
Keep trusting* the Lord, His miracles beholding
As in His will, your heart is settled; His delight finding."
*Psalm 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
