Taking up the cross---AGAIN

One look from you and I tremble and shake like a leaf
Where is my backbone?  I look into your eyes and I see the endless darkness
No light at the end of your path
Your lies and deceit - NOT MINE
Your cruelty and bitterness - I WILL NOT OWN AS MY OWN
Your weak and pitiful control - I AM NOT YOUR PUPPET
I can not fix you or fathom your motivations
I pray for your soul - pounded into the dirt and muck of your choices

I will not go with you
I have my own light to follow
I will not let it be extinguished
My panicked breathing will not put out my light
However small it may be - it shines with all the promises...
Heaven is in my small flame of forgiveness
However small - I am present
