Put your burdens down, right here
Not forever, just for now
Let them know you hear their cries
See the blues under their eyes
Tell them there’s no need to fear
You’ll return to mop their brow
‘Til their tears are running clear
They’ll be waiting low, right here
Biding silent, softly weep
Strike a bargain, leave in trust
Then before they gather dust
Greet them as you reappear
Warm them gently in your keep
Carry kinder, hale and just
You have earned your journey pause
Try to graciously ignore
Any loud imagining
That you could be squandering
Chances that are there because
You are shrugging ache and sore
In your weighted wandering
It’s alright to take a break
Not forever, just for now
You are burden-carry strong
Muscles steel and journey long
Listen to your body ache
Needs a rest, if you allow
‘Til your steady ache is gone
