The Strength to Stand

A little poem about finding the strength to stand, especially in the midst of our loneliness and uniqueness as individuals when we feel lost and alone.

Standing at the ocean’s shore,

I am but a single voice amidst the mighty roar.

♦

Standing in a desert land,

I am only a single small grain of sand.

♦

Standing on the mountain’s peak,

I am a single untethered wind-blown leaf.

♦

Standing in the crowd alone,

I am one distinctly solitary melodic note.

♦

Standing in the dark of night,

I am a brilliant flickering spark of light.

♦

Standing within heavens grasp,

I am at home in my Father’s arms at last.

(I recently stumbled across this older poem originally written back in 2011.  It struck a chord with me as I read it.  So, I dusted it off, re-wrote and re-worked some of the lines and here it is.  Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading! ~M)
