I look to thee
My Lord, my God
I pray to thee
My source of trust
I ask of thee
Thy help and grace
And when my days are lived
I long to see thee
Face to face
Please help me, Lord
I pray
Tag trust
Being Led
I left despair, and started to walk
Much like the typing of my hands
I did not know quite where my words
Or how my legs would lead me there
But in my trust I let all go, and allowed
Myself to be led home. I have arrived.
Trust
Trust is a dance
Between you and me
Trusting that you will never let me down
And if you let me go
To fall to the floor
The music will fade to silence
And I will dance with you
No more
Prayer through Poetry
When I clasp my hands to pray
And prayers are whispered in poetry
My heart reveals itself to thee
The One who, in mercy, created me
Light After Dark
There is no hope in this world so dark
Guard the treasure in our hearts
For we pass through and then are gone
Create our testimony with the words we speak
And live for a country unseen
I have no hope in what I see
My hope is for eternity
I believe in light beyond the night
Trust
Trusting in your love for me, I
Remember the grace towards your child
Undying to the very end, my
Saviour you will always be
Till the moon and sun slip away
Last Words
I am at peace with the world
I am at peace with me
I am at peace
Thank you for my beating heart
Thank you for my life
Thank you
If this my last night shall be
Let me live it
Joyfully
Spare one last night to breathe in
All the pure goodness
Surrounding me
I have lived, I have loved
I have fought
I am
Grant one last wish of mine I plead
That my written words should be
My testimony
And if I should not make it through the night
Know that I am at peace, I am at rest
There are no words left in me

Look to the Future
Relax, my child
I know you are having breakdowns
Nerve issues, and anxiety too
But all will be well
Son and daughter will be blessed
Countries will be exchanged
Smart phones will be invented
You will find out soon
What they might be
You will learn to write
Practice some Pilates
Get that body into shape!
New friends will arrive
New people, new lives
New stories to be shared
There will be sad times
There will be happy times
There will be farewells
Sorrow and joy interweaving
Working together for good
Harmonising
You will never be without
Every day you are alive
There will be blessing surrounds
And to help you out
There will be coffee
And to spare
And at night, there will be tea
In mugs reminding you of home
Lovingly painted in Africa by hand
(Zimbabwe actually to be exact
Long story, don’t ask)
