Take Up My Cross

"Am I mad?"
"Yes but let me tell you a secret...All the best ones are!"


Sometimes I feel the insanity is wasting me away. Back against the wall to the world, alone and afraid. I stand tall though and pretend I can face them on my own. Then another blow hits and I'm down on my knees. While I'm there I bow my head and begin to pray. I find peace and sanity once more. I stand stand back up with the strength to take on the insanity. God is there and I'm not alone. I sometimes forget to fall on my knees during the good times and thank him and the sanity fades away again. I need the strength to always recognize him and TAKE UP MY CROSS.
