The Rut

.

While walking in the fields one day

I fell into a rut,

The floor so deep

And sides so steep

I could not get purchase for my feet.

I cried out, “If I were rich

I would gladly give my all

For help to get me out of here!”

He came and leant across the gap

And said, “I understand,

Pass me your hand,”

Then pulled me up whereupon

I thanked Him and continued on

My way on feet of clay.
