from weary times and endless strife;
from cares and woes of a shattered life;
from the fear of a feeble grasp on grace;
from fragile faith and a loss of face;
from a worn out walk of faulty strides;
from a mask well worn and weakness to hide.
From all of this:
Come aside and rest a while.
Come aside and rest a while:
from daily cares and throes of pain;
from setting a standard with no gain;
from bearing burdens of fam'ly and friend;
from problem solving without end;
from weeping more than a now and then;
from fruitless praying with a no amen.
From all of this:
Come aside and rest a while.
Come aside and rest a while:
from body wear and feeble strength;
from taking remedies to great length;
from a physically fit - to fit to drop;
from hoping long for a body swap;
from suffering pain too hard to bear;
from lack of mending of the wear and tear.
From all of this:
Come aside and rest a while.

I enjoyed it. God Bless~
Many of my priorites rearranged,
I took a moment to see the Son,
To thank HIm for what He'd done.
I then became His,
Because I came aside to rest awhile."
Loved the poem, and please forgive my presumption, I could not resist, it hooked me so much it just flowed on.
I like good, upbeat endings which show that something changed in the journey. Rather like many psalms go through real agony to real praise. Just me and certainly not "right", just me.
I enjoyed reading this poem.
Thank you for the reminder to lay all that down and rest.
"from the fear of a feeble grasp on grace;...from a worn out walk of faulty strides;"
Manifique!
