Opened Eyes

A Discovery:

Pen to paper and fingers to the keyboard
The words aren't so easy
Taking on this foreboding task
Now feels weary.

Heart heavy
Mind far gone
Too far in
Feeling withdrawn.

More than bargained
This task taken
Previously presumptuous
Or currently being shaken?

More depends upon it
Than is really known
Feels overwhelming
And alone

Who am I
To do what is asked?
To have what it takes
To finish this task.



A Prayer:

"Can You take me by the hand?
Can You use me as I am?
Break me into who You want me to be

When the time is finally right
Will You open my eyes
And show me everything you want me to see?
This life is not my own.

Everything I say and do
Let it be all for You
The glory is Yours alone." Aaron Shust
