Assistance

I saw the distrust in your eyes

as you bowed before deceitful lies,

lies that you yourself made up

ere you had me for a noontime sup

If only you had bothered to find out

what my agenda was about,

you may have known I simply cared,

that you had no reason to be scared

I only came to help you out

when there was no one else about,

when you sat with your hands in hair,

completely given to despair

So, how did I become this fiend,

this ominously threatening giant

that came to rob you of your food,

and threaten your whole livelihood?

Relax, sit back and let it go,

these fears that overwhelm you so;

I’m here to help you find a way

to make it possible for you to stay

Future knowledge

I wish that I could clearly see

the things the future holds for me -

the ones that are nice I would embrace

and from the rest, I’d turn and race.

Yet, I think fear would overtake me

and then I would not be who I could be,

for I would be paralysed from the head

and might struggle to simply get out of bed.

So, perhaps I would rather not know

what my future life has in tow.

Perhaps I’d rather trust the Holy Spirit

to equip me for life and all that is in it.

Focus

Lord, give me the strength to do Your will

and silence my mind to make it still,

for my thoughts have set my feelings alight

and they force me to focus on things that aren’t right.

My conflict and turmoil have left me in despair

and I get to the point where I think You’re unfair,

but then I check my thoughts against what I know

and find my feelings are lying, for You are not so.

Father, I choose to believe in all that You’ve said,

despite the rhetoric raging inside my head;

I’ll stay focused upon You who knows best

and train my mind to forget the lies of the rest.

Flowers fade

I saw the beauty of the land

as we walked upon it hand in hand

as it bloomed and budded all around

with luscious life that knew no bound

But life was never permanent

no matter how magnificent

and as the flowers wilted away

I knew that you too could not stay

The memories wane as flowers fade

and the new ones formed seem to invade

upon the sacred life that we had known,

upon the life that we had grown

Thus I return you to the soil,

the dust that holds no fear or spoil,

to a Life that knows no suffering,

to hope’s eternal Life Spring
