It’s finally time to SHOUT
“Enough is Enough”
To dust off shields of armor
and flip the switch to “tough”
With every step in each new day
it’s too easy to fret and worry
Wasting a God given moment
instead of cheering in His glory
Toss those words and thoughts
that surely weigh us down
A lighter load will bring us smiles
and erase those dreadful frowns
So, arm in arm, let’s move forward
for strength in perseverance
Do not relent to downward slips
Ignore the interference!
