'Where will you go from here?', he asked,
Not knowing what to say
She smiled and answered, 'I'll just bask
In God's great arms today!
For only He knows why this time
Has come to draw me near
He brings a rest to heart and mind,
Tho' foggy now, soon clear!
There is a rest that only He
Provides and at its best,
It's much the same and may well be,
But not without a test.
For testing is for vile and pure,
And though this seems surreal
It has a purpose, this I'm sure,
And through it I will heal!'
He slowly nodded and agreed,
As though he could relate
For in this rest she would be freed
And ready for the wait!
