On The EDGE

I wanted to share this poem I wrote back in 2009 because I feel it speaks to what someone may be feeling as they are on their journey. At times we go through such strong emotions about our situations or life in general and people want to discount them sometimes (I know I do). However the very nature of being human is encountering these emotions. So the emotion I'm dealing with today is restlessness about my future, my purpose, my destiny. Not restless in the sense that it’s not going to happen, restless in I WANT IT NOW--- so basically needing to employ PATIENCE and trusting the process. I want to be in the fullness of it, but it takes time. I hope this blesses you.

On The Edge ©

By Charise R. Bonner

Too far to go back

Not close enough to claim success

Stuck past the middle

Straining to claim victory

My promise is right there

I’m on the very edge

I can see it, I can sense it

I can feel it, I can almost touch it

What is the holdup?

Is it me? do I need to do something?

Is it someone attached to it that’s holding it up?

Is it God saying, Wait Be Patient

Its coming, its not quite time

You’re close but not just yet

I’m on the Edge!

Feels like I’m about to go over on the wrong side

But I know deep within I won’t

With my Father as my guide

I’m just frustrated

I want to walk into my promise

Yesterday, last week, last month, last year

Trying with all I have to contain myself

For I know it is indeed very near

God give me patience and peace

As I wait for your Perfect Timing

I’ll stop the fretting, wondering

and yes even the whining
