“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
