Surrendering in Defeat Is Hard to Do

[Loretta Riddell (Elohi)]

Surrendering in Defeat

In order to live a life in Peace.

There are times when a burned bridge cannot be rebuilt

Times when those in pain  shut you out

Times when people judge you for what you have

Where  you live and how you live your life

Long ago I gave up on those who judge  others

I gave up on those who deceive in order t hide the fact

They have flaws like everyone else

I left behind those who consider another  unworthy

or from the wrong side of the tracks.

Surrendering in defeat will not stop my  prayers  for those

I left behind

So I can live in peace and have serenity in my life.

Caring for those who want me to care

Loving those who accept it as given

Freely with  no strings attached
