They say, “What ever doesn’t kill you,
Makes you stronger.”
This is not the case, I have found.
Jacob’s disjointed hip
Speaks of weakness and limitation
That scars forever.
With each new trial and setback, one shouts,
“Not again.”
But the intervention of a god
Who cries, “Not again,”
Who prayed it too in his own trial,
Prays it with me.
His suffering speaks that “not again,”
Will not be again
And one day we will pray, “Again,”
Again and again.
