brokenness waxes
as strength grows within
stubbornness relaxes
reverence begins
I am never far enough
to say i’ve arrived
pilgrims journey avoids
all things contrived
so the Lord watches
my weakened stance
as knees fail
in softened glance
and reaching up
I grasp a Hand
of righteousness
where I beg to stand.
