The Water That Escapes Me
Leaking slowly from this anxious heart;
The future has too many uncertainties
Torrents come as we say goodbye;
work is unknown, staff we love gone
Quiet and unseen they roll; as I see, hear,
and feel Jesus holding me close
It pools in moments spent outside;
Sunshine, walks, and picnics heal
Hot they come quick, when frustration
takes hold; so many hours locked inside
Gently they fall when I watch my young
children; innocent and uncomprehending
Sobs shake this weary frame; so much
loss, crouching waiting to pounce
Laughing is welcome and unexpected;
her tears soothe my soul
The birds sing their song; demonstrating
the ability to live one day at time
The water that escapes me;
it comforts, stretches and shapes me
I am who I am;
difficult circumstances bring out the real me
Let the water flow
