Let This Cup Pass
From Me
Let this cup pass
from me
How many times
have you thought this
Give it to
someone else
Perhaps they have
more patience
Can handle it
better than I
More experienced
Sit in the
rocking chair
Pull it into your
lap
Stroke its hair
Rock away all
afternoon
Barely a breeze
In the hot summer
sun
We are all given
somethings we do not want
Do we have a
choice
Can we just pass
the cup
Hide out all
afternoon long
The sun sets in
the west
Sound of drums
The music plays
A cool oasis waits
My cup full to
overflowing
Dance to the
rhythm
Let this cup pass
from me
Maybe it is a
choice to accept or drink

I think we should all have a choice... but I feel that sometimes we are all forced to drink... and it could be a bitter drink.
This one drew a deep sigh from me... especially considering that we are all given something which aren't prepared for and have to face.. how true.. and how very frigtening.
I don't know that there is an answer to that question. Who makes up the rules?
Yes I know that feeling and only yesterday made the decision to pick up a cup I put down, put my ice shoes on and return to a position of responsibility that I didn't think I'd have to have again. Yet those shoes feel broken in and somehow I think everything will turn out ok. Thanks Annell.
I'm sure we have all wished this. I know I have many times. but sometimes taking the cup has made me stronger but then more recently, it has not.
Gosh Annell, I'm not sure. The cup usually comes to get me. Hope it's easier for you to tell than for me
I like the offering of a choice in the last line.
I think we all receive unwanted gifts, burdens we would rather not accept or ?own, maybe sometimes deserve.
It is so easy to fill that cup to overflowing as we mull over ‘what ifs’, wish we could change the past, turn the clock back – maybe sometimes wish it forward, and in doing so, damage ourselves.
Drink from the cup and learn by its contents and leave it empty – but if the cup is not deserved, becomes a burden that should not be ours – pass it on, or if not accepted by the rightful owner, discard it.
Anna :o].
Yes, some cups we have little choice but to drink...........
We are nearing that decision, again this Easter.
