Even in my fears of tomorrow:
how bread will come,
my lack and well-being,
your smile is upon me
because you know I will seek you in my time of need.
Even in my waiting:
how hours have come to a halt,
my sense of time wrestles with stillness,
your smile is upon me
because you know I will eventually long for you.
Even in my human intentions:
how my flesh still embarasses me,
my inability to catch up to my zeal,
your smile is upon me
because you know I will find solace in your presence,
my forgiveness,
my rest,
my strength and peace.
