When the going gets tough, it's time to try something different.
Perhaps you never tried to ask for help in the right place. Or ever.
Try it.


The last Mile

I've come this far with all I had
I did it on my own!
but now I see the road has changed
because the winds have blown
and left debris
it's hard to see
I can no longer smile
unless I ask:
lessen my task
and walk with me this mile -

This mile seems long, more like two miles
and very lonely, too
My feet are sore, my shoes all worn
and I was doing great
I hope and pray
you've come to stay
and not say,"It's too late"

They tell me that those aren't the kind
of words you're known to use
so I will take a leap of faith
and ask,"Please help me choose"
with confidence.
This does make sense
since you've walked here before
I'm coming your way
willingly and you won't ask for more.

Why don't you talk with me a while
your words are very few
Just go ahead and scold me now
for things I didn't do
And you're not making fun of me
It seems more like a smile
so comforting, so soothing
to get me throuh this mile!

Joshua 1:5 "Do not be afraid or be dismayed, for as I was with Moses so shall I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." Joshua 1:9 "Where ever the soul of thy feet shall tread, I shall bless thee and all those around thee." A thoughtful poem!

F.i.in.e Moods The PoetBay support member heart!
finding support to go through the hard times not so alone... i think a lot of people struggle when it comes to reaching out in times of need... but i agree with the words you say here... a hand through hard times can be enough to help rebuild the loss of energy troubles bring, i think... a very good text... *bookmarked* :f *hugs* xx
