Thought
Among vibrating mental waves
Verbal delusion havoc makes
Propped up by pride it paves
The way to eat at gains it takes
Child self-sad that sits alone
Wave of past will its mind flood
Wounded deep unhealed is prone
To speak like child in adulthood
Deep emotion pools that stirred
Agony accept - no word repress
Deep love of whole life sacrificed
Found in cleansing tears express
Raise up defeating wave sublime
Allow its power in mind to rule
Take heart and in Lord’s entwine.
Felt even in the speech of fool
Prayer
O Lord Thy presence is my comfort. Thy timely grace my rescue; when childish traits surface, you rush to reveal Your glory and rescue me as Your child. Grant that my mind may never separate from Thee.
