Today's word is "laden" ... burdened; loaded down.
Trouble
Who isn't? Burdened. Laden down with
all manner of troubles and confusions.
Families gone off kilter. Accidents. Sickness.
Bad bosses or co-workers. Loneliness.
Too many directions to go at once. Or none
at all. Wars in every country and no
one to step into the gaps.
All this evil seems on its face to be winning ...
but appearances can be deceiving.
Sometimes a healing occurs, a child is rescued,
a marriage lasts fifty years despite not
being perfect. Someone is forgiven.
These miracles should not be in such a world.
But they are. Breaks in the downhill slide.
Some would call these reasons to
celebrate. Some would call them
reason to hope.
