I hear the word no
It makes me sad
So easy to walk away
And ignore responsibility
I cannot judge.
It is not my duty.
I am charged with going forward.
Working for causes that improve condition
Many agree that this should be done
But do not participate.
They have reasons, many valid.
I want to cry out, but then I remember
I have a cross to carry. This I must do
With dignity calling on the Holy Spirit
To enlighten me as I take my steps.
The world if full of chaos including
Persecution, death and genocide.
What can we do, except that which is in
Front of us. So easy and still many no’s.
I will not cry but will walk with my shepherd.
