The feeling was so intense
As she walked in
The worry that was across her face
Left one feeling barren
With no hope
In her eyes
Then it hit
"Your services are no longer needed"
It was the last straw
She felt broken
With intense worry
She turned
Knowing life would be different
Life would surely be barren
For those who depended on her service
They would be lost
But...life would go on
Her hope would be found
In the quiet days
In whispered prayers
Placing her worry and burdens upon the Lord
As intense as this seemed
Hope laid around the corner
In the one who held her future
