Strength

My mind is exhausted
My body is weak
I'm not really here
I just need to sleep
I'm begining to drowse
My mind isn't clear
I can't pay attention
To anything near
My muscles are aching
My fingers are numb
My mind cannot function
I'm deaf and I'm dumb
Then I am filled
With the strength that I know
The adrenaline rush
That always will show
In my facial expressions
And in my eyes too
From the head in my hat
To the feet in my shoes
I am filled with the strength
Given by God
The strength of the weak
The strength to go on
Then I thank the Lord
For his wonderful gift
The strength of His love
The strength to be His.

A little bit of history:

This poem is about the strength that comes when you are exhausted. When you feel like you can't go on anymore, God goes and puts his arms around you, gives you a great big hug, and carries you the rest of the way. So many times in our life, we try to do things on our own. If we trust in God and give it to Him completely, it will all be taken care of.
