My Jesus

I Know

my Jesus is closer

than a leaf

on a Trembling Aspen

as He guides me

down our squeaky stairs.

Unsteady legs carry

an unfair weight

and why should He

be helping so cheerfully?

He is the One to whom

I turn to when my life

has an unfortunate

downturn - it is then He

brings me gifts of

Love & Forgiveness

as I place each foot gingerly

and when I reach bottom

shout “Hallelujah!”
