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.
