WITH A FIRM BUT GENTLE HAND

Folder: 
JOURNAL#18

who will face the unfacable

stare down the unseeable

and make sense of the nonsensical

while believing in the unbelievable

you and I

with the help of God of course

his hand you see

must rest gently upon our hearts

and shoulders

as its magnificent weight could all

too easily crush the slender too human

fallible heart alone

that is why he loves us best

through the vessel of our souls

his silent, gentle, loving, so very

determined celestial soldiers riding well

guarded within our allotted but sometimes

so very fragile human containers.............
