Rain drops in the lake
Green leaves on a muddy path
Sunlight glistening

Be strong in the Lord, and never give up here.

Trust in the Lord with your full heart as well.

For You shall move mountains with God help.

Never fear, for Christ shall Lead You through.

For You shall see Greater Miracles than before.

For Christ is Your Lord, and He Loves You much.

He shall speak Life into all of Your situations too.

So Trust Him and know that He shall never leave You.

For He knows Your every situation, here on the earth too.

A gentle melody carries in
a lifting calm from the middle of the field's embrace
This pause,
in which I briefly catch your glance
Assures in that moment,
I know I am exactly where I need to be

Tug of war with sleep and sight
I revert to childhood
Refusing submission to heavy lids
My eyes crave colors and light

If my name was more unique
   My cadence more strong
   My words more angry
   Or my roving eye of justice
   — More outstretched and long
Maybe then I would stand out to you
Maybe then I would start to sing anew
But probably not
As you cannot sing what is not meant to be your song
