Always Someone...


 ...always someone small who steals the breath of someone tall(-ish)😉



Always someone following somebody in the lead
Always someone harvesting the fruit of fallen seed
Always someone learning what somebody else learned too
Always someone earning what becomes appointed due

Always someone loving while another someone hates
Always someone hurting while another celebrates
Always someone working while a freeloader sits back
Always someone doing more to make up for the slack

Always someone dying and somebody being born
Always some who witness dusk while others greet the morn
Always some who make the best of what seems like the worst
Always someone second because someone else is first

Always someone needing what another has much of
Always someone seeing with opposing points of love
Always someone seeking what another one has found
Always everybody treading Mercy’s holy ground

  1. Poignant words and images. So much of life has those bittersweet moments entwined where we celebrate and mourn in the same breath. Thankfully, and gratefully, the joy of the Lord is our strength in the midst of it all.

    Thanks, Janet. What a sweet photo of that little one.

    1. thank-you Brenda and amen. so thankful the joy of the Lord is our unfailing strength! So glad you reminded me<3 (it's one of those mornings, every time I return to the Saturday chore list a would-be poem comes a-knocking;-)

    2. I'd like to know why the creative muse comes knocking on chore day (wink hehe). It happens here too! Perhaps because our brain is free to mull as we focus on other things.
