Stubborn, as the Male Goes.
It seems I must
Carry it all.
Decisions and action
My thing.
So tiring, I stumble
And fall.
Giving God place
That’s the thing.
A serious surgery came
Not my place to
Interfere then.
Flat out in that
Hospital bed
I heard the Lord say
I deal with
The how, where and when.
(A song Amy Grant
Once released.
Lay down your burden.
I will carry you, I will carry you
My Child, My Child.)
