“We’re all tired”, he said to me.
We’re all tired, but should be free.

We’re all stuck deep in the mud.
In the swamp, and in the blood.

We despair, defend and lie.
We’re so tired, we don’t know why.

Where is God, when we need him most?
Where is God, or is he lost?

We’re all tired, but grace will come.
We’re all tired, and yet as one.

“Don’t despair” she said to me.
We are tired – but shall be free.

[Just written.
Fresh to press.
Please excuse the errors.]

Hope it is ok to bring this poem back so long after, it inspires me. I am weary, times too weary for words. So much makes me tired now. I am disillusioned, been hurt, watch the hurt, see the lies. I try to remain hopeful which you give to me here...
"yet as one" made me cry. Thanks for your poem, coloneldax, God does work his magic, like with the gift of a poem found so randomly.
