it's answers she seeks
On a bench facing west
with her Father she speaks
She lifts up her voice
both in grief and in praise
She lifts up her voice
endless days upon days
Her Father looks down
and He sees every tear
Her Father looks down
understands every fear
"My child" says He
"have patience, just wait"
"My child" says He
"I'm on time, never late"
"For these many long years
I've waited" says she
"For these many long years
for your answers to be"
"My dear daughter, I know
all your deepest desires"
"My dear daughter I know
to what you would aspire"
"I put the dreams there
in your mind and your heart
I put the dreams there
I've been here since the start"
"In Me you must trust
I am faithful and true
In Me you must trust
what's best I will do"
"Now hush and just sit
in My Presence today
Now hush and just sit
I am making a way"
So she lifts up her heart
in quiet and peace
So she lifts up her heart
His Presence she seeks
On a bench facing west
she watches the sky
On a bench facing west
her Father is nigh

Beautiful poem, Toni. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pammers...just one of those things that flowed out of the keyboard. I know it's from Him when it's that effortless (I know you understand!).
