Sometimes my meekness is taken as weakness. Some people think their words can harm me, make me give up, or shake my faith. I fear no mortal man for the worst he could ever do is take my life. I know my soul is safe in the hands of God.


 

A barrage of words

Fiery darts aimed at my heart

Designed to dissuade me

Raise questions and doubt

Regarding my faith, my beliefs, my life’s purpose

My strength and resolve greatly underestimated

The adversary believes he will win

I will not waiver for I have withstood

Greater forces in times past

An enemy fierce and all too real

Powerful attacks, attempts to capture my soul

I never retreated, I wouldn’t surrender

Led by a captain divine and almighty

Headlong into the trenches, ever forward

    Decided to change the image associated with this – the movie cover was the only picture I could find last night, but this poem has nothing to do with the movie “Courage Under Fire”.
