As Time Goes On

God knows I love you
He hears it every day.
In morning devotion
As tears clean dust
From the ducts

I kneel and pray
Kneel and pray
But as time goes on
Those three words stay

Two pronouns, one verb
Every morning the air disturb
Turbulent words

From my heart they come
With blessings and pain

For you
