Of Footholds and Foundation


This poem was inspired by thinking of/praying for 
many family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances 
suffering seriously difficult times; injury, sickness, pain, loss of loved ones etc..



When faith needs to find fresh footholds
And hope needs a big hug or three
As love learns how to suffer long
And cheer learns a meek melody

…and when the heaviness of heart
Must bear the heaviness of life
And groan beneath a weight enlarged
By pain and parting’s sorrow-strife

When plan and routine run awry
And Unknown looms like blackest night
In mortal weakness God is strong
In Unknown’s darkness He is Light

 When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
Isa.43:2
