"Let Go" a poem to share with ya


"Let Go"


"As children bring their broken toys-with tears- for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to Him because He was my friend.  But then, instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own.  At last I snatched them back and cried, "How can you be so slow?" "My child," He said, "What could I do?... you never did let go."  "


I believe the author is Cindy Jacobs.  I have this poem on my wall here, and read it everyday.  It helps to remind me to stop given HP instructions when I pray, but more so, just report for duty.


God loves ya, I love ya, and there aint a darn thing you can do about it,


Trina, AKA Mastiff
