Hanging by a Thread...

December 15, 2014

I’m hanging on to you Like a Thread Trying to live without a care But all that fills my heart and mind Are feelings and thoughts of despair Emptiness and loneliness Despite having lived a rich and full life Surrounded by loved ones, Friends, Family, without strife. The threads are made out of strands Love, Joy, Hope and Peace Faithfulness, Kindness, Self-Control. Faith, I planted many mustard seeds I want them to grow. Hanging on to your promise Seeing small shoots but where are the fruits? Stuck in the snow. One day I am encouraged, The next I am down. I pray and dream of the day Where I am wearing the crown.
