Kneeling before You
Trembling, afraid
Will I measure up
To Your expectations?
Feeling Your hand
It's gentle strength
Running through my hair
Soothing, calming
So much patience
Sometimes I wonder
If I am worth Your time
"Go slow" You said
And I do
So slow I wonder
If I am progressing at all
What do You see in me?
It seems I am
Always afraid
Always seeking re-assurance
And You are always there
My heart yearns to run
To fly with You
to soar above the trees
And yet I falter
And in so doing
Anchor You
And wish I could hurry
Catch up, not hold back
Wonder if I am
Dragging You down
Keeping You back
From Your own flight
Wanting, needing
So much it seems
Do I drain You dry?
And yet You stay
A constant source
Of strength and calm
In my chaotic world
Do I ask too much?
At times you test me
And to me I fail
Never quite able to give
What I think You want
And yet You remain constant
Consistent, approving
Seeing my least step forward
As an achievement
One day I hope
To fly with You
To be free of my fears
And soar in Your wake
To feel the sunshine
Of your approving smile
As I pick myself up
And meet You in flight
