Overcoming

Another day in history
Before I reached today
Challenges loomed in front of me
Defeated me when I had not begun
Everything that pulled my heart
Found a frown on the face close to mine
Growing deeper with time until--
Hope surged through me in spite of disapproval
I chose to follow the
Joy in my heart
Knowing You approved even if another did not
Lord, Your quiet voice
Motivates from within
Never
Overpowering, yet
Persisting
Quietly, consistently
Ruling my thoughts and my dreams
Showing me my talents and joys
Through long walks alone
Under Your watchful protection
Viewed through the eyes of hope
Walking became the gate to overcoming
eXactly in the fields I had dreamed
Your guidance, Lord, brought
Zest to the journey
