Afraid?
What is “the thing”?
What is the “that” in you
Which is so big it causes such
Great Fear?
Wonder if someday it suddenly
Becomes real and comes?
What will you do?
Panic?
Or Pray?
What will you do?
Will you fight or just freeze?
Will you crumble in trepidation?
I know
What i would do because it’s come.
And I am trusting God
To remove it
From me.
Double Butterfly Cinquain
Job 3:25–“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”
Nothing can be done
I overheard them all say
But God said “No Way!
For the battle will be won!
Listen to Me and not to they”
Tanka
Commit thy way and works
Unto the Lord, trust Him always.
Walk the narrow path
Haiku
(Based on scriptures: Psalm 37:5, Proverbs 16:3, Matthew 7:14)
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established Proverbs 16:3
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:14
Where is hope found?
In the soul dreaming?
In the world helping?
In the heart loving?
On its knees praying?
In all those and more.
Hope is found in God.

Walking
Each step crushes
The fear within my mind
Confidence builds as God leads
The way
Cinquain
“Everything happens for a reason”
Is what mother used to always say
“Today troubles may visit you”
“But tomorrow’s a new day”
” Always keep looking up”
“God will make a way”
“This too shall pass”
“Don’t dismay”
“Just trust,
N’ pray”
