The Ball
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu
19/2/2018
You have seen my childhood
What I lacked was You, my Lord, in it
You are indeed Good
For now You wish to restore it
You come to play with me
Throwing me a shining ball
I catch the ball coming at me
And I realise that it is not just a ball
In Your Hand, You held the world
That was what You threw to me
Throughout this world I shall declare Your Word
So that all shall know the Lord God Almighty
As the ball landed in my hands
My eyes opened wider still
And I saw that Your Hand
Was always there from the very beginning
I was never alone or in lack
But veiled by evil lies and misery
Now, I hear and walk with You daily
For Your Truth has set me free
