No, I am not the words in the poem. I had said one day my life was hanging by a thread, meaning financailly and health wise and the saying, hanging by a thread stuck in my head for days...the poem below was the only way to play off it and get it out of my head |

By A Thread on The Edge of A Ledge by RJ Burns © By a thread on the edge of a ledge I hang on by a wish and a prayer If I stumble and fall Live through it all Will I lay down and say Enough for today Now I lay by a thread On the edge of my bed Between sleeping and dawn I try my best to hang on And just by a thread I’ll pull back from the ledge And hang on to a wish and a prayer Is there more for me over that ledge Do I pull back or run full fledge For one day I’ll break free of the thread And I’ll finally fall over the edge It’s not that I want to leave you It is me that I’m trying to escape I’ve no strength to keep fighting the demons That have taken control my head And keep pushing me over the edge

We have all been there Rebecca. We have all been out on that ledge, hanging by the thin thread of reality. Finances, family, work, bills, health, and whatever else the powers that be can throw at us. And I do agree with Patricia too, that with the Lord Jesus in our lives, our burdens are a lot less heavier. That is why I always use the prayer at the end of my comments, because I actually believe those words, and they do help a lot. Thank you for sharing Rebecca.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), sister Barbie |

I've been there before but I sincerely accepted Christ into my heart. Then I used His name and the bible as a weapon. Now I am free!
Thanks for sharing.

A common malady that torments the human soul. Keep hanging on, and looking up, not down!
Call upon Jesus, to drive those nasties away, ask him to kick them out of your head.
I ditto Trask on that score
Grace and peace be with you

Its Everybody' Life Is Hanging On Thread They Just Don't Realize It Until It Breaks..
If You Fall Get Back Up 1 More Time You As I Will Make It To End, Not Keep PUSHED (Me) Off The Edge...
SIMPLE WAY GET RID OF EVIL or DEMONS:
SAY: SATAN BE GONE,EVIL BE GONE,DEMONS BE GONE...
TRASK... Neat Poem... |
