O God

O God,
I come before you bowing still
To trod
The wide valley through your will
Let me
Know your hand upon my string
Lift me
High where the bright falcons sing
O God,
Like a desert all my sands of sin
Unclad
Bare my barren scrag of soul
Fill me
Until I am healed and whole
Mill me
No more, I am sheep not gold
Feed me thy love, the valley is cold.

What a wonderful prayer/poem. I really like the last line--because without God we indeed are in the cold valley. Blessings to you for sharing this inspirational piece with us. Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Keep on writing. Karen
