Tumble

Today we tumbled through some old territory

I did not want to have to encounter again

Why is it that life is always throwing me

These curve balls

Dishing up these dire straights

Sending down another flood

Why can’t things just work out right

And why is God always tearing up the ground beneath my feet?

Sometimes I get so tired

And then I think

Just press on

For when I gave up  before

And fell into the deepest hole

Loneliness grew

Like never before

Surely I dont need to go back there again

You say that I will leave

Well really my love I just need a reprieve

From being the strong one

And loving and caring for

Everyone and every broken thing

But I fear if I stop

Will the earth stop turning

I dont think so

So for today I will just say

The start was rough

But this afternoon

I am finding a softer place

To land
