Strength while kneeling

Others flee and yet I stand,
All to lend the weak a helping hand.
But when strength is what I need,
You shall find me on my knees.

Chris,

Could you please edit the word Flea to flee.It's sucking the reader's attention. Please do attend to this.

Christian or No Christian, Kneeling is universal form of showing one's extreme reverence to the one before whom we kneel and the strength lies in submission.The strength lies in devotion and one kneels before not the undeserving but it is our response to the highest value we seek.

Chris, bless you.These four lines were very moving.

Thanks.

agree with all said before. One minor edit: "flea" should be "flee"
