Stay the course

I must remember I am not my own

I have been bought with a Price

I have no say...only to obey

I have been in an interesting spot the past few years.

Ive been given a "post" seemingly just to "hold ground"

So many ideas,

So frustrating at times,

My hands are idle

My mouth is silent

My time is simply spent..

I go before my Commander and chief

He looks up as if to say "why are you here?"

Marnie you know you will hear Me when I call

You will be called when its time

but not before 

I think of it as being sent onto a foreign field

no one has asked me for my opinion

I signed up and

I just follow instruction,

There is a Board of Three that oversees my deployment

They are experts at what They do

They make no mistakes'

They watch intently and They send ground troops to occupy until They say otherwise,

Sometimes I see glimpses of the enemy

but more often than not what I perceive is complacency.

It's scary knowing there is an enemy lurking not far away

Yet again Ive been given no orders to "do" anything..

just occupy

So I grow in submissiveness

in perseverance

in being faithful

I must not become one of the civilians that

I serve

As an ambassador of sorts 

I pray

I encourage

I counsel only when Im asked

So friends

Its not about what WERE DOING

Its about

OBEYING

How you doing?
