Why don’t you get over it,

She said with a grin,

You can’t let it get to you,

So up with your chin.

But I can’t seem to control it,

It comes up from the blue,

I would stop it right now,

If I just had a clue.

All the world full of darkness,

So I stay in my bed,

They tell me this pill,

will make me feel right,

if I take it right now,

perhaps I’ll get through the night.

But good sleep still eludes me,

so anxiously I wait,

eyes exhaustedly wide open,

ever pondering my fate.

What will happen,

if I go here or go there,

so tired and so lonely,

does anyone care.

But then in the darkness,

a lone whispering quiet voice,

sent chills down my spine,

and offered a choice.

I love you my child,

don’t give up the race,

if you come to me now,

I will reserve you a place.

And not only will I give you,

a beautiful place with no tears,

but I’ll walk right beside you,

for the rest of your years.

Everyone suffers,

in this life that is true,

but the rest that I offer,

will help you renew.

Renew your hope,

and manage your strife,

Come to me now,

let me rescue your life!

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29
