What Does God, See

What Does God, See?
By: Tom Wright
10/5/99

Lord, I would not have you see me
as ordinary beach variety sand.
That blows, shifts and always moves about
when tides in my life get out of hand.

Nor see me Lord, as just some reed,
seemingly without purpose, forever nodding in the wind.
Neither see me as some cacti, so rigid within myself
that to Your will I cannot bend.

But see me Lord, as just one seed with spot
found lying upon dry ground.
Uncovered and thirsting, in need of care
that for so long, Sin, had bound.

Know me Lord, as one, whose hardened heart
was as midsummer suns' dried clay.
Yet, in your hand's, resilient enough
to be remolded and used each day.
