Determination – A Pantoum

Do I fear Your strength?
I must say I do.
The cravings, more intense…
My fear is a stumbling block.

I must say I do
Some silly things at times.
My fear is a stumbling block,
But I shall overcome.

Some silly things at times
Pull me further from complete submission -
But I shall overcome
And all the happier W/we shall be.

Pull me further from complete submission;
I will scratch and claw to regain lost ground,
And all the happier W/we shall be
When I, triumphant, kneel before You.

I will scratch and claw to regain lost ground
Each time I face a challenge.
When I, triumphant, kneel before You:
Open, bare and Proud.

Each time I face a challenge,
The craving’s more intense.
Open, bare, and Proud -
Do I fear your strength?
