Carrying Our Crosses




Walk the Walk
~~~~~~~~~~~
Some call this world a burden

Some call this world a curse

But I call it a blessed place

For trust me... there's far worse



I'll walk this earth any day

No matter what the cost

I'll pray each and every day

That not one soul be lost



I'll walk the path of Jesus

With help, I'll walk it well

For His way leads to heaven

The wide road leads to hell



So if you see me walking

With grace, I will not tarry

For Jesus is my light and guard

My cross He helps me carry



And if I see you on this path

Which every day grows steeper

I'll help you if you fall, my friend

....I am my brother's keeper

  2. Hey Mary this is a great poem. Well done.

    I'm not very good at poetry myself. I've only ever put one of my poems on my Blog. You can find it right at the top if you click on "Nonsense".

    God bless you and your family.

  5. Thank you all for your kind comments!

    Victor, I write nonsense poetry too :) Once I was bored and wrote my own epitaph! If I could find it on my blog I'd link it but I have no clue where it is!

    Anne,
    And I thank you too. Your kind words have lifted me up many times. God bless you!

  10. Ha!Ha! Well done, my friend! I forgot about the starch comment!
    Anne's comment about her own funeral cracked me up too :)

    I can't believe you can find my posts more easily than I can.
