Short
My whole life short
Wanting more
Not liking my stature
Seeking and yet
So disappointed with
Myself
On my knees I shout
Humbled I bow
Through eyes overflowing
With tears
Knowing disappointment
I am broken
Just too short
Much too short
Not by design
I have no strength
Short, broken and weak
Unable to change I cry out
Unable to rightly fulfill
What was planned
Too short, too broken, too weak
Yet hope remains
Not in me
I know me too well
My confidence is in Him
He is my Hero
An Idol worth setting up
The only Idol I need
Focus on Him
Lean on Him
Only Him
He is not short
He is Unbreakable and Secure
Infinitely Strong and Undefeatable
Not like me
Short in all my efforts
Broken from knowing
I am weak and unable
Yet at His Word
I rise
I see above the
Crowds of the world
As He lifts me
Healed to move forward
As He is Within
Beside and Before
Moving forward in
Strength from Him
My shortness,
Brokenness and weakness
Are inconsequential only
Because He lives within
I am short
I AM is not
Therefore, I go
Forward

Life so busy,
I need an escape.
To the mountains I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to the beach I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to the desert I run,
To see and hear the beauty of,
Or to close friends I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to my heavenly family I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
Or to my church or Bible study I run,
To see and hear the beauty of.
How often is it that to the Lord I run,
To see and hear the beauty of?
