In His Hands Are Kept

Published On: November 12, 2002  22:03, filed in Verse
In rare moments of honesty
I find my true self standing still
In a wide empty open room
Hoping and waiting earnestly

I pace around that empty room
Looking and probing here and there
Searching for what I do not know
Wanting to sate a growing gloom

After sufficient time has passed
The things I wanted are revealed
So perfect in their craftsmanship
Their beauty will forever last

This is the gift for those who wait
Who trust in Him to gently keep
The things which we commit to Him
Who controls the very hands of Fate

Anxious Hope

Published On: January 13, 2004  11:47, filed in Verse
Wanting to move, I find myself seized with indecision
Having a desire to respond, yet holding back
I know not what my Lord wills in this situation
And time marches on, heedless

Deep wants, the secret dreams, held close and dear
Grasping the insistent hope, while waiting
For the fog between now and the future to clear
As time marches on, heedless

The silence is His answer, and I am contented
All things in time, the patient virtue tells
With hope and faith my dreams in Him invested
While time marches on, with purpose
