    The River
    Rushing river
    Heal my heartache
    Lord of mercy hear my cry
    Sunlight dancing on the rapids
    Sparkling water
    Wash over me
    Let me live a life of gladness
    Thankful I'm alive to hurt
    Quiet waters
    Ease my full mind
    Let me breathe deeply this hour

    There is not one cloud 
    To marr the soft blue sky
    The sun warms my shoulders
    The hawk glides with no wind at his back
    All is as it should be
    Still the answers are not apparent to me
    Your will be done
    You gave your son
    To wipe out my transgressions
    I will trust in you
    To lead me through, this time
    It is not mine to ponder
    What will come to pass, this hour, this day
    I will follow you

    This a lovely prayer! You plead for His help and vow to follow His lead. That is just as it should be.

    but one of your many beautiful poems, the words flow like a river, peaceful and strong.

    Perhaps, like the hawk, you seek to rise and soar over those things that are soul heavy? A beautifully reflective inner dialog within your daily walk with Christ.
