My Strength
Written in the 1990s.
My Strength
I cannot make rivers
Or throw bolts of lightning
I leave temples standing
Not a Philistine frightening
But I am strong
I did not kill serpents
When I was but a baby
I’m not near invincible
Though my mother was lazy
But I am still strong
The burden of the world
Is not mine to bear
But enough I’ve to handle
For Her do I care
I need to be strong
Throughout bad times and distance
I will love Her always
During loneliness and doubt
I will love Her all ways
My love will keep me strong
