Little Brown Creeper

Everything is hard,

Until it gets easy.

Lie of the enemy;

"It's too bleak, may as well quit while you're ahead."

Like tying my shoes?

Practice makes better,

strengthening the muscle

of capturing thoughts.

God said I can do it,

and He's never lied to me.

It's my doubt in the way,

not His promised goodness.

Watching for the little flit of hope

in the early morning light:

A darting promise.
