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!

I hope this brings you strength
in whatever you’re going through in life.

This is so great, Lauren–well worth the repost frequently!! God bless you!
Thanks, Caddo, I’m glad you liked it a 2nd time! Hugs and blessings to you, too!
Lauren, we usually have no idea just how much inner strength we have until we have to use it … and it’s there to find. Sometimes we just have to dig a little deeper, have a bit more determination, and a lot more faith. Lovely and timely post, my friend! I wish a wonderful day for you and yours, and send healing thoughts, love and prayers! ~ Love and hugs, Julie xoxox
Your words are so true, Julie, and thank you for your complement! Your prayers and love are always welcome, too! xoxoxo
Nicely written Lauren!

Aww…thanks, Cynthia, I definitely want you to smile, my friend…hugs and love back to you!
Okay did you write this with ink or a shovel cause it is deeeeep. This is really powerful Lauren.
Kim, you crack me up! I didn’t think it was that deep, but I’ll take your complement! 🙂 I’m glad you liked it! Hugs!
Hey, I love that phrase – writing with ink or a shovel! That would make an awesome blog post! LOL! 😀
I have to agree, Julie, and I forgot to mention that to Kim! 🙂
I love it, Lauren! 🙂
Love and hugs xxx
Thanks so much, Deb! I hope you’re doing well! Love and hugs to you, too! 🙂
Dear Lauren,
Lovely words worth the repost.
As I read your poem, these words sprang spontaneously:
I burden you no more than what you can bare. It is for you to find the strength I gave. As you carry the burden, remember this My Child, I carry you.
Peace, Eric
Aww..Eric, you never cease to amaze me with your beautiful writing and from my perspective, your words sound like something God would say…we just have to dig a little deeper sometimes to find that inner strength, but it is there. Thank you, my friend…hugs to you!
you are the LIMITLESS one 🙂 xx U see 🙂 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoC
Aww..thanks, Cat! Sending many x’s and o’s your way! 🙂
and To You 🙂 xoxoxoxoxoxo
such a beautiful poem Lauren and I hope you keep going strong and be blessed with endless inner strength. You’re a wonderful person my friend
Aww…thanks, Scott, and I’ll try, although, sometimes I do have to dig pretty deep! 🙂 And thanks for your complement; you are, too. xxx
A *very* timely reminder to me, dear Lauren! As Richard and I are contemplating the next several years of preparation for his retirement, I want to find much better ways to contribute to the household coffers, not just operations–and that’s very intimidating to me, as one who’s never had a great-paying job or had terribly marketable skills. So I am going to take your verse as inspiration–no, as ‘armor’–and get out there with a braver spirit and see what I can do. Thank you! xoxo
I’m honored, Kathryn, that my words inspire you, truly I am! And your next chapter in life sounds exciting, but I can understand your feelings, as well! I wish you all the best and you can do anything you put your mind to! Just knowing you through WP, I know those words are true! Sending much love and many hugs!
