Why do you wait patiently?

By Tanya Merced

 

The whisper of your voice draws me near

Why do you wait patiently?

The days are no longer moments of anticipation, 

but have been filled with disappointments and fear.

Haven't you noticed I have slowly disappeared?

Yet the whisper of your voice reminds me of hope

and dreams that were once so clear.

Diving deeper into an empty hollow place

trying to recall the last time we were face to face.

Time has been tainted and changed with distorted emotions,

and yet I can hear the whisper of your voice.

Why do you patiently wait?

Trying to convice myself to stop the chase and to surrender this battle within

I clearly hear my name.

Don't stop believing nor trusting in me for you will always be mine.

Molded with my very own fingers and trudged with every beat of my very being,

a signature of perfection, sealed and approved with my son's life.

Why do I wait patiently you ask?

 

 

Prayer: Father I thank you for your patience and your unending love.  I thank you that even when I turn from you and try to hide you quickly remind me of who I am and why I was created. Forgive me Lord for forgetting how wonderful and great you are.  Help me to fight my unbelief and to totally surrender myself to you.  In Jesus name, amen.
