Singing to the Sky
Singing to the Sky
"Struggling with confusion, disillusionment to0
Can turn a man into a shadow, crying out from pain....."*
i wander over the past year wistfully
trying to understand
no answers come...
we've gone through so much
my ambivalence seems to be solving itself
as i take care of you and i take care of me
i still wake up depressed but not as bad
the waves of anxiety seem to be lessening
the multitude of things to be done hasn't changed
but my metronome is set to 4/4 timing
except when I erupt in frustration at some new roadblock
then comes the anger and guilt
i want to fully understand your suffering
and i want to also know truly what you are able to do
i'm confused and " hands are torn and bloody from the scratching at "*
there've been days when i could not go on
i fear they can return
some days i wonder if i will become homeless
but then i think of you lying in that bed
not knowing what's to come and i feel selfish
i guess this is the work the Lord has meant for me to do
until i can't do it n'more
so i'll make the best of it
my best won't be perfect
i pray He will settle my feet on a rock
and steady my steps
that He puts a new song in my mouth
a song of praise to our God
come quickly Lord
[our} helper and savior**
