He Shall Hold You Poem by R. L. Allen

in every season
there
is
time
for
our
thoughts

in Winter

the tiredness
of the end of the year
s killed and the soul healed;
spirits break as the year closes
all its sadness inside itself;
hearts swell with the
energy and warmth
of a new, fresh
year like the blank page
of a book or a fresh coat
of snow

and in Spring
there is
time
to
weep for the small tragedies life gives;
time to remember those who
have departed and laugh
for the times you spent
together, time to
dance with the friends who
help you through the battles of life

and in Summer
there
is
time
to

let go of the reins
now you can walk by yourself,
time to really put your faith in
and embrace God and trust that
He might help you through the
rest of the year; time to
let go of Him
and trust
that

He
shall
hold
you
up

now,

you
can
only
plant
crops
at a certain time of year,

but
you
can
love
God
each minute of the year

and


you
can
start
a
new
story

or

write a new verse

every day if you wish.

God
doesn’t
hold
you
back;

God never lets you go

even in the most
desperate,
seemingly

lonely

times of your life
