My restless sighing,
Leads to a greater unknowing,
Where the loved promise,
Is revealed but not quite yet,
Eternity’s breath whispering,
His constant presence very close,
My home is found in the greatest sacrifice,
When kindness reached out to touch me,
My heart joined with Eternity’s rhythm.,
Sadnesses are shared and hope is celebrated,
Together arm in arm we stand firm.
When my sad story was told,
My lament of broken promises,
My path of disappointment’s darkness,
When nothing seemed to go right,
I found that this was the new beginning,
The scorched earth of my broken life,
Was caressed by the rain’s gentle drops,
The ploughed furrows they created,
Became my wells of fresh hope,
My soul revived to live again,
Each shoot of new life born from love,
Gently nurtured by merciful pruning,
I love my opportunity to pray,
When everything is taken away,
In the stark still moments,
I face my creator and listen to him,
Every gift that comes my way,
Desolation, fear, anxiousness,
Love and kindness and compassion,
Are signs of where I truly belong,
My heart yearns for home,
Where my sighs are heard,
My voice returns with new words,
Loving the song that begins each day.
