THE SEA
The waves are slapping against the shore
The night air chills the sea
The birds have left the beach
This time
Are they hiding from me?
I am walking hand in hand
Dear Lord
It’s only you and me
I thought I was alone at first
When did you come to be?
I’ve struggled through the angry tide
I’ve tried to take it all in stride
I used to pray and say to you
I used to tell you what to do.
But when the tide goes out to sea
And all hope seems to fade
Its times like this dear Lord
I know the price you’ve paid
Forgive me Lord for not trusting you
I know you love me through and through
I need to come to you in prayer
I promise just to leave it there.

For the first time, I did not use my eyeglasses to read this. Great
piece of poetry and prayer here, it reflects what most of us feel.
So blessed,
Cynthia
