Who Are We At Our Core

 
"I cry like a child Lord when I am overwhelmed;
and ask, be my forever tower, rock and anchor,
let me rest in the shelter of your wings when I
am tired until I can fly free like a soaring bird."

                                            Quote by _Constance

My faith is ever
it will not fade
or decay away
or come and go.
Yet, I do not see
God on this earth. 
When woman came the stone had been rolled away, his tomb was empty
soon, an angel appeared to announce, the Son had risen from the dead
He first appeared to Peter, then, to the others and then, to the hundreds.
He appeared glorified, transformed from a man, immortal and heavenly.
He is .. forever
just call to him
and he will be.
He is my rock
my tower and
my strength.
I believe him
in my inner
child, with all
my heart and
soul.  He will
always be my
warrior brave
against evil.
I am his child 
he, my father

I do not need to see him to believe.  I just do, for he has held my hand when
I have been afraid, he has held me like a baby in his arms, and wept with me.

+++


“we look for that that does not come and go
it cannot be organic form, subject to decay 
thoughts and beliefs are fickle, how little we know
yet come what may, our inner child continues to play”
