WHAT I HEAR

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.
