-my Strength- Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-MY STRENGTH-

It's just a little nippy
As I walked out of my door
And goosebumps form upon my legs
As I go about this chore.

A cool wind blowing gently
As daylight does ensue
And my mind strays this morning
To quiet thoughts of you.

Are you awake this morning
Or did you sleep at all.
I just wish that I could go
Dial up that comforting call.

But all these fears inside me
Are welling up more tears
And I would not upset you
By voicing all my cares

So down on bended knee I go
To ask again in prayer,
That God might give a blessing
And with you, my strength, now share.

At my age, I don't need it
But you are still so young
And God knows that in this world
We need to be so strong.

So, if my friend, you chance to feel
A surge of strength or two.
You'll know that God just granted my prayer
To give half my strength to you.
