Yesterday - A poem

Yesterday - A poem


Yesterday I wanted to run
run, drive, whatever
far far away.
I wanted to escape the hand of God
that was touching me deeply.
I wanted to run far far away.
But then I realized
that's what I always do
and really where has that brought me?
Where has the constant far road taken me
but far far away?
Have I ever reached that place of peace?
No.
What would happen if I stayed and stayed?
If I didn't run but stayed?
What would happen if this time
I was brave and stood my ground?
Shaky knees oh God.
I don't know how to stand - only run
far far away.
Wait!
Shaky knees equals fear.
I do not fear Oh God.
Your ways are good,
Your paths for me rightness.
Your paths lead to peace,
like a quiet stream
on a beautiful breezy day
where there is no chaos.
Peace.
Oh God I want to be a girl who lives
lives and dwells in that peaceful place
with no fear.
I am not afraid.
No, I am not afraid to stand.
I stand before you God - my God
Your precious little girl I am.
Older now, but Your own little girl.
I stand in your strength and might.
I am not alone
and I am not afraid to stand.

Every most sincerely

Duchess ME
