Is It True?
Can we talk to him?
Does he listen?
Will he answer?
Does he care?
Is he with me?
Is he really a dad?
Does he really have a plan for me?
Will he protect me?
Can he?
Is he really real?
Am I really loved?
And cherished?
Am I able to love what I can't see?
Do I have a purpose?
Do I receive gifts?
Am I significant?
Can I make a difference?
Is he in me?
Am I in him?
Can miracles still happen?
Is he still working?
Am I really known?
Can this all be true?
Curve Balls
Sometimes life throws
Curve balls
Out of nowhere
We're side-swiped
Surprised
Terrified
Maybe delighted.
The suddenlies of life
Catch us unprepared
How can we really prepare?
When we don't know what
We don't know?
I'm thankful that there is
One who does know.
All I need to do is trust.
And enter the peace
That passes understanding
It's there if I remember.
It's even there if I don't remember.
Thankful.
Seen and Known
When days aren't great
And rains fall
And winds blow
And pain is strong
And fear takes hold
When love is tested
And loved ones hurt
And I'm not rested
And words fail.
There is still a trusted
Person I see
In my mind's eye.
Who sees me.
He really sees me.
And I know I am safe
Even in the rough
And the black and white
And the seemingly real
In times I have to act
When it feels so lonely
Still hope invades
And I recognize beauty
Once again
I move forward
And am brave
Because I'm known
And loved.
