Worrisome Things

Worrisome things bother my mind

Troublesome tumblings trying to find

A weaseling, slithering, sneak hole within

To set up an outpost in hopes they will win

And sabotage once again my right to be

Peaceful, encouraged, hopeful and free

With trembling insides I venture forth

Slowly, in tentative steps, a new course

Of broadened horizons stretching my mind

Bringing along my spirit in kind

Showing my heart a new path to walk

In faith that things longed for are more than just talk

I gather my resources honed throughout life

And sharpen my senses for things that devise

I lift up my prayers unto God for the grace

To lovingly temper my fears with the faith

That all that can be will unfold with a plan

As I meditate and do all that I can

To honestly, lovingly, kindly ensure

That I bring to the table fruits that are pure

Cleansed from all pettiness and uncaring schemes

Leaving only the truest of heart's finest dreams

That therein the harvest when feasting's begun

Will nourish and fill kindred souls with it's love
