Hit your knees

Bigger than us

By Gregory AndersonPublished 13 days ago 1 min read

Standing at the crossroads

Searching for answers or friends

When you’ve been knocked down it’s so hard to stand

Blown about like a leaf upon the breeze

Sometimes the only answer is to hit your knees

This life can be so complicated

So many chasing say they’re on grind but it’s over rated

We fall back to all we ever knew something inside looks for you

Life like a ship upon the ocean with no sail without a destination how will you prevail

Millions of grains of sand spread out along the sea

To find your way you have to hit your knees

So many roads as you try to navigate but you just don’t know

Like a car primed and ready to roll but what direction will you go

Time for many seems like a bitter pill for we know bad choices can override the human will

Loved ones sometimes watch beg and plead as they see that you are in need

All that remains is to hit your knees

Our world has come so far and clearly we can see all the battles scars

Time does not discriminate it touches each and every soul

It last but a moment then it is gone

A prayer simple as a gentle breeze

Just hit your knees
