peace

Oh how i wish to know you

How i wish to find you daily

But at last, you elude me

You hide in places i can not find

In a place that feels out of my reach

You tease me with the promise of rest

But all i find is turmoil and distress

I long for your embrace to know i am safe

I feel your hands and know your arms will catch me

And in the end, i have learned i can only be with you if i surrender

I must give up the rights to myself

I must pick up my cross

And I must follow you

My answer is yes, Lord.
