His Love
alone, once parted,
all this girl holds near
in a strife filled moment
is His love.
her eyes drift closed
and she feels the essence
of Him
fill the empty vessel of her soul.
it consumes each worry,
swift as the finest edged sword
it tears away her pain.
the gentle caress
of its golden amber glow
wraps around her,
warming the deepest pitch night,
making the chilliest day alone
into home.
like a little child coming in from a storm,
to be wrapped in the warmth of firelight
to be filled with the sweetness of cocoa
to be wrapped in the security of a blanket,
the joy of His presence fills her,
and she knows
wherever she walks through this wide,
cold and lonesome earth,
the love of Master
will always keep her home.
