Tug Of War
This is a poem by me. I can't remember exactly when I wrote it at the moment, but it was sometime this year.
Tug Of War
I’m standing here
Playing tug of war
Heaven on one side
The world on the other
Back and forth, I struggle
Will it ever end?
Suddenly, I see You’re standing there
“When will you learn?
Freedom comes from letting go.”
Who would I be without who I have become?
How can I stand without the cross?
I can’t let go!
I feel Your hands gently take mine
My hand opens as the rope slips out
I frantically grasp for Yours
I quickly let go of the other rope
And take Your other hand
“Darling, as long as you have Me nothing else matters.”
