Not for Everyone (9/15/19)

Posted on September 15, 2019September 14, 2019 by Millicent
Not for Everyone (9/15/19)

Not everyone looks for You.

Nor do You ask that everyone does.

Not every mill wheel turns by the water coming from Your river.

Drawing a strong, tight bow is not for everyone.

For that, one has to be a hero.

Rubailer (2016), Rubai #2, page 77.
