To the Greatest of All Beings
Dear lord,
I write this letter short,
A psalm from my heart,
To cherish what thy have passed
A gratitude for thy works.
Forgive me, my lord
For when I have faltered,
The days I spent in agony,
When thy voice wouldn't reach me.
For the torment I laid upon myself,
Hardly a moment to breathe,
For chasing away thy peace,
You bestowed upon me.
Forgive me for dithering thy grace,
For doubting thy place,
Father, your love is absolute,
For so I thank thee, on this Christmas eve.
Thank you for loving me like a child,
Yet raising me to be a woman!
You are our savior on this dawn of storm,
A keeper of our sinful souls.
Never disregarding your children,
Always there, like a bird to her nestlings
Like a father to his daughters,
Like a mother to her sons.
This winter when snow shall reign,
Painting all white and grey,
I trust, you shall keep me warm
In your burrow safe.
