The Lowly Spirit

“The Lowly Spirit” Tom Entrican 7/23/2023

 

The lowly spirit starts to cry

Finding fault for all she is

The pain sits just behind the eyes

Does life come down to this?

 

But she need not bear upon herself

The worries of the world

Though sometimes she can’t see the wealth

Wrapped tightly inside the girl

 

The many lessons she has learned

Upon the path she walks

The sadness of the heartache burns

While she bears all of the talk

 

And yet with strength from who knows where

She rises from the pile

Knowing just how much it cost her

And still screws on a smile

 

But from above His light will shine

In the corners of her life

To take with her when it is time

When her soul takes its flight

 

Still she struggles through her day

In prayer against assault

As she strives hard to tell herself

That Life’s really not my fault
