THE LOAD YOU CARRY

by Jim McMillen the man within   May 3, 2008


Often times, situations arise,
Seemingly strong enough to take control .
But through the will to survive, I search for strength,
In my mind , my heart and my soul !

For there is a power, that lye's within,
I know through faith, I can overcome.
As I pray to God, to guide me through,
To bring me closer to my total sum.

Remember my son, that the load you carry,
Was not given to weigh you down.
But to build up strength, that you will need,
The time is coming when you'll wear a crown !

A crown that contains such wondrous things,
Much more than your hearts desire !
So reach within for the strength I have given,
So you may continue to climb much higher .

Son, I see you are weary, as I look in your eyes,
From your journey thats been so long.
But I have so much in store for you,
Some for your pleasure, But its all to make you strong!

So continue on , and know that you're not alone ,
As I am always by your side!
When you exchange the heavy load you carry,
you'll be more than satisfied !

    When things in life get rough, I always remember that God is by my side and I am not alone and that He nevers gives me more than I can handle. When I surrender the rough things to Him, the heavy load is lifted. Thanks for writing such wonderful words that inspire if only people will listen to the words as they read them.

    There are so many wonderful parts to this poem, it would be hard to pick a certain stanza out but I am partial to this one
