Falling . . .
Yet Again!
Hiding from a hail of enemy fire on a blood-filled ridge
Losing a fallen comrade during a Korean winter long ago
Falling . . .
Yet Again!
Abandoning a radiant, young bride on a stormy night
Realizing now this decision was such a selfish error
Falling . . .
Yet Again!
Failing to slow down at a dangerous, sharp highway curve
Seeing a limp, lifeless body slumped in the passenger seat
Falling . . .
Yet Again!
Watching as unforgiving cancer strikes down a loved one
Wishing to stand in her corner and take away all of the pain
Falling . . .
Yet Again!
Hitting the streets looking for a chance to work again
Struggling to comprehend life without a worthy job
Falling . . .
Yet Again!
Drinking another “Jack Daniels” very late at night
Feeling despondent week after week with no life
Waking up . . .
Dropping to my knees!
Thumbing through a Bible
Finding Psalm 18
I love you, O Lord, my strength
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
No longer falling!
