Hidden gentleness


Colossians 3:12 

12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,

put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

 

 

How hard

 

A soft cry in a message formed in simple words

Precluded affirmation of what one will to be

Using hidden gentleness like a swinging sword

To get the last attention for everyone to see

 

How hard to live by faith when the river lost flow

How being human needs proof of some sorts

Why feeling so-only in struggles against the foes

that seem to resurrect in us as they surface in accord?

 

Who really cares in me? Is it in me or my other self?

Well know it can’t me for that one is utter selfish

Who than can it be but my other self as you can tell?

Who died a long time ago to be delivered from the hellish?
