I am in Your secret place

I don't often write rhyming poems . . . when I do, they tend to sound rather Dr. Seuss-like. I was going through my files and found this one. I guess I saved it because the simple rhymes go with the childlike trust in God I was feeling when I wrote it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am in Your secret place

Here I will behold Your face

Here I'll feel Your strong embrace

In this place shall I abide

And know You've never left my side

In You, with Christ, is where I hide

There is no evil in wait "out there"

For You and Yours are everywhere

With You I'll be without a care

For all expression, expresses You

Presenting only what is true

And what is good, is what I'll do

 

This is how we’ll ever be

I with You, and You with me

Past, present, future, always free--

That's how it is, eternally
