“Lives Defeat”


 


My knees are way too weak


To stay on my feet


Let me laugh


Let me cry


In my tears


Or in my smile


You will linger for a while


But love I cannot deny…


Does make me cry


As I go to sleep at night


Please know this


I do not weep


I return to what pleases


In the name of Jesus


False love I do not seek


My heart is way to weak


But when my heart starts to beat


My knees are way to weak


To withstand lives defeat

Tinka,

Well crafted poetry! Love this part, "As I go to sleep at night, Please know this, I do not weep, I return to what pleases, In the name of Jesus!" So inspiring! Keep the faith and He will keep you strong (knees and all!)! Thanks for sharing this treasure.
