Faithfulness Needed

by jennie joy

one step. one more.
this foot, now the other.
day after day – doing what is needed
knowing the path is longer than today
preparing the heart to wake for another
day.

this monotony is exhausting
like walking without a scenery change
siting is easier
so i stand
sit
sleep.

train me in faithfulness, Rock of the ages.
teach me dependence
depend
dance
to suck life from the water spewing from You
to abide
to remain
to not forget or forsake
Your presence.
