OCEANS OF STRUGGLES In weariness, my Lord, I bend my knee, No strength to bear this burden laid on me. The ocean of my struggles knows no end, Yet another vast sea I must wend. Take this life, oh Lord, I plead no more, I've begged and hoped, now on this distant shore. My limbs are tired, my spirit worn and frayed, I can't go on, I've lost the strength to wade. The weight of trials, burdens to bear, Endless waves, I struggle, despair. Each day a battle, fierce and long, I yearn for peace, where I belong. I Thought the trials would cease, the pain would end, Yet still I face this vast and stormy bend. Mercy seems a distant, fleeting dream, I surrender now, my soul, it seems. No more the strength to rise above this tide, No breath to muster, in this storm I hide. Oh Lord, in weariness, I now release, Grant me your peace, let this striving cease. Take this life, oh Lord, I plead no more, I've begged and hoped, now on this distant shore. ©shivani singh #DARKNESSANDFIRE
