His Servant

There is a reverence that comes


It over whelms you when you feel it


It is a feeling like no other


And not a feeling you often share


For the presences of the Lord is not shared


It is not often shared when people convene




When you feel it you know it


And makes you act and acknowledge


For with such grace must be shown gratitude



I did not see him coming


But the feeling was very real


I turned to see just who it was


To find my friend, my servant


One who loves and helps me


Along my path I take



It is this respect that came from


A mutual love we share


Having called upon him persistently


Touched by the Lord Himself as we met


Each time been blessed with care



To know he is there when I call


Gives comfort and settles my fears


For this is what I live for


I am able to call Home and speak


Talking to Father and asking to come


Yet being told to wait and work hard


With the care and spirit of His servant


This answer to wait is made simple

  1. This one made me cry. I am sure there are many moments in your life when you feel it is time to "go home" - I have felt that way myself, and I don't deal with nearly the quantity of issues that you do.
    Please know that your faith, as expressed in this poem, has strengthened me. I will take your counsel, and in my moments of struggling, I will remember. Love you.
