the defining word of my life

the defining word of my life is: tired

my bones are weary with the sun
though i am yet young. would i
have held a different life though?

i don't think so. it is a privilege i feel
to carry my cross
and serve all i can.

but sometimes, just sometimes
i wish i could put everything down
slack in a corner for a while

return to being a child.

yet i know it cannot be
the world will never wait for me
and so i shoulder my cross anew
and wait on God to see me through.

Isaiah 40:31 - "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
