It's Time I Wrote A Poem Poem by Janice M Pickett

There comes a time when we have to stop
Time when the pressure gets heavier
than our shoulders can carry
This is my time...
Just for a moment though...
and then I shall barrel forward once more

We cannot bare another's cross
for we have our own already
Forgiveness and humility should be our very essence
Pouring out a light and yet breathing the intoxicating
aroma of friendship to all...
We are not infallible

Standing strong against the ego of others
never flinching at their conceit
God tests us yet again for he knows our value
We are his pawns played with crescendos and vibrato
Echo's from the Heavens where the games are played
I thank him for my part in his scheme

I feel stronger each time I achieve the calm
That special calm that comes over me as others attack
Let them yell on the highest mountain
Let them scream to a thousand weeping willows
I will not flinch nor show my inner pain
That is not how I will find the light in my life

So today like any other day I tread with care
keeping my spirit tamed and in tune
with the Orchestration of his Majesty
Melodies form a flowing picture
and play for only me to hear
For to know that I can rise again
is music to my ears
