absent

a painter without paints

trails his brush through the dust

and lifts it to the sky

scattering the dust in a line

which falls to the ground.

my efforts fall before the Lord

so many of them vain

striving of my selfishness

look Daddy look

what i can do, look

forgetting

that HE is Creator

remembering I pause

these deeds, mine

are small and dusty

i am afraid to look up

but when I do

i meet kindness and the tenderest affection

in His eyes

reaching for Daddy’s hand

I tremble because He is fierce

and mighty

and yet, I know

I am His.

I walk with my hand in his.
