With all the sorrows and trials that came.

We move forward tentatively.

Even though all is much the same.

I have not hesitated to do anything helpful.

I have preached and instructed.

There is is here nothing regretful.

Or even mildly dispirited.

Now you see me a prisoner.

Already in spirit.

We are merely a petitioner.

But there is new life to inherit.

Life is not a thing to waste words on.

We just need to carry on.

I have served the Lord

And with all humility

With sorrows and trials

See Acts 20: 17-27
