Dear God,
I'm not sure what to say
You told me to so I held on
Just a step more and I would have
let go.
Alone
I never tried to hide
Invisible to the crowd around me
Only You see.
I call You friend
Brother, Saviour
You could never mean less
So keep me in Your hands.
Dear God,
Family is a word so much more than itself
You gave me into the arms
of Dad and Mum
and put love in my brothers' hearts
Now knit us closer
In a net never to be broken
Ever.
Friends,
Hate-love relationships
Funny how they keep me going
Bless them all, Bless them true
In Your name, May they be blessed.
Dear God,
Can You see me grow?
Like the wildflower I love so much
I put down deeper roots
Cast my scent into the fields
Will You, like the wind
Carry it into the world
To bring smiles
In spite of darkness
Bring joy in spite of suffering
In Your faith, will I grow.
Hold me close
Never let me go
Into the year and the next
and the many to come.
Amen.
