Hard

What is hard for me
Dying
Dying to myself
For a greater cause

I don’t have to face
Danger
Danger because my faith
Is not popular

What is hard for me
Giving
Giving up my wants
To help another

I may have to face
Rejection
Rejection of friends
They don’t understand

What is hard for me
Loss
Loss of what could be
For a greater cause

I don’t want to face
Confusion
Confusion of ideals
I don’t understand

What is hard for me
Focus
Focus on the goal
To honor the Lord

Give me the strength to face
Life
Life brought by my death
Your death on a cross

    Garrett,

    Did you write this?

    Yes, I did write this. I made a comment to a friend that poetry must rhyme, and she strongly disagreed, and finally convinced me. Then I felt inspired to write this one night.

    Garrett, wow, that was really good.

    No, poetry doesn’t have to rhyme. I think it is pretty both ways. You did a great job with yours.

    God bless,
    Brooke.
