First Poem Of The Year

 


I have written my first poem in a while, and it turns out also to be my first poem of the new year.  


Juggling

Why do I juggle?

Why Do I struggle,

with the pressure of every demand?

Why do I struggle?

Why must I juggle

When God has each ball

well in hand?

Why do I stumble?

Why do I grumble

constantly rehashing my plight?

Why do I grumble?

Why must I stumble

instead of choosing to walk

in the light?

Why can't I stop

Juggling and Stumbling

Struggling and Grumbling

Living a life based on fear?

Why cant I give up on 

Trying and Crying

Believing the lying

That I whisper into my ear?


The answers are found in the questions.

Truth is more than suggestions.

I love the ending "The answers are found in the questions." I remember in my theology program that one definition of God is "the questioning." So there it is. Blessings for a reduced-struggling/juggling year.
