Dragonfly trapped… inside my screened pool

Days go by  as I try like a fool,

To save this little Dragonfly, so beautiful and so fast,

I worry how many more days will this creature last? 

 

Day four he is losing strength, as he flies around each time,

I know his life is over soon, it’s only a matter of time. 

 Finally so weak, he allows me to help,

It could have come sooner,  if he trusted how I felt.

 

That is just like me, running circles in this life,

Finally trusting God, when I can’t handle the strife. 

God's heart so heavy, as he watched me go fast,

To do all the things, knowing none of them would last. 

 

Inside my pool screen of life, I flit and I flee,

His gentle hand always, waiting to help me.
