Poem
The ides of March are upon us. The air is crisp and cold, And I set out with my two dogs, To see what the night enfolds. I love my nightly walks with them, Just me and God and them. It's how I set my heart to rest. It soothes me once again. My walks with them do calm me, They soothe and heal my spirit. This time with Him is like a balm, Against the things that sear it. The air is cold and sweet tonight, It's overcast and dark. No stars bejewel the sky this night, As we walk through the park. The night bird's call is sweet tonight, Upon my weary ear. I look for him in vain, I know, For he will not appear. Here and there are sparkles, By my feet amid the grass, Like fairies flitting to and fro, Twinkling as we pass. His touch is everywhere it seems, We only have to look. His promise never to forsake, Is written in The Book. There is one thing only, That our God just cannot do, He cannot lie, for He is Truth. He's here, I tell you true. Thus reassured I start for home, My heart no longer heavy. My step is light for He is here, To lift my tax and levy. "Faint not, for I am here for you." He speaks to my lonely spirit. I just have to take the time, And listen so I'll hear it. He's here for me, I know He is, And He will never leave. I just have to do my part, So there's no need to grieve. The road is long and rough, I know, It's filled with twists and turns, But if I lift my hands to Him, My spirit soon returns; For He will catch me up to Him, In His strong arms I'm safe. My Father's here, no need to fear, I'm covered by His Grace. "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. I WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE NATIONS. I WILL BE EXALTED IN THE EARTH.' THE LORD OF HOSTS IS WITH US, THE GOD OF JACOB IS OUR STRONG HOLD. SELAH." Psalm 46:10-11
