Overcome the World
I knelt in the temple
Praying
Please God
No more hard things
Please, not yet.
I’m not ready again yet
I’ve had enough experience
I murmured pleadingly.
I was determined to have my way.
In that quiet
Holy place
Filled with pensive pondering
I felt peace overcome my spirit
Joy flickered around the corners
Of my pain.
Thy will be done,
I whispered
I accept
“Rejoice my child
I won’t ask this of you”--
This time
