Lay It all Down

 

Lay it all down 

Lay it all down 

      Under the 🌲 tree

       Gifts wrapped 

             Anxious thoughts

                   Dreams and forgotten ones

Lay it all down 

        Your burdens, your questions

               And rest, quietly, softly 

                   Like the shelter

                 At the base of a towering pine 

Lay it all down

          Yet wanting to pick it up time and

                  time again

                        Blue sky, pines wavering         

                             Wind blowing the trees

                                Waiting, waiting,     

                                  trusting timing is 

                                          Right

   

About this poem: Lay It All Down is a poem about waiting and when we don’t see the full picture to wait with hope.“Waiting is part of the human experience. We wait for healing, for answers, for breakthroughs. But Christmas shows us that God doesn’t waste the wait. He is near in it. And his timing, though mysterious, is always right. God will be faithful to you.” - Joe Holuta
