Poetry
Psalm 1266
Here I am, Father,
standing here before You with many weaknesses,
all of which I’ve asked You to reveal.
I’m here as frail and as tender as a fresh shoot
that has just pushed its way up out of the ground.
I’m uncertain about today and tomorrow
and the storms I’ll be facing.
Not to mention the heat of trial as I grow.
But there is one thing I’m certain about,
And because of this reason,
each day I climb higher reaching for the sky.
That reason is, You, O Lord.
The minerals of Your love nourish my roots
breathing fresh life into me
and though I’m tender and frail,
though the heat may wear me down,
though I might get bruised by the rain and wind
I stand here firm and in place
just for You, and because of You.
So I patiently wait for You, as I face various elements
knowing the day is soon arriving
all of my petals will unfold
revealing our love in full bloom.
There are many other tender shoots, just like me,
and I pray that they continue reaching up,
and being nourished by Your compassion.
May they be covered under the blanket of Your protective wing.
I ask this in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty,
Who was, and is, and is to come.

Herman, I too, sit here with tears in my eyes. We are all so fragile in these times of struggle and not knowing what lies ahead for us, but somehow keeping our eyes trained straight up to the nourisher of our Souls. This is so very beautifully written. Continue to use God's gifts that He has so generously given to you, Herman. Glorify His Name, in all things that are Holy. God Bless you, by friend.
Thank for this great psalm.God bless you. Amen.
