Poem about Wrestling with God and Accepting God’s Will
—
by
Tug O’ War Engaged in a constant game of tug o’ war between your will and mine. Sweating out the hours. Eking out the days, muscles bulging in desperate exhaustion, clinging to dust. Why do I wrestle with you? Why does my foolish heart still insist it knows better despite a lifelong record of defeat?…

The Cries of the Sheep
—
by
The sheep lie scattered across the valley, each one willfully wandering away from the fold. Heads down, walking blind, grazing on grass that devours the soul. Yet, the evening leaves them frightened, and the darkness shakes them, shivering in the cold. They each look out across the withered pastures, surprised to find themselves so far…
