Author of my Heart

Dear Heavenly Father,
You are so infinitely great!
You never cease to astound me with Your provision!
Though I see only a few moments in time,
You have prepared my entire life, on through eternity.
I cannot begin to express my love and gratitude.

I walk though a doorway into the darkness,
But You flood the porch with light and call me back inside.
I wander into mediocrity, but You draw me back into the dream You have for me.
I dream of good enough, but You see only the best!
How can I begin to appreciate the good only You could cause in my life!

You fill my life with blessings, walking and talking,
Breathing examples of lives filled with You.
I cling to Your promises, for none are better!
The future You've prepared for me is tailor-made!

When I drift from passion, flickering,
Leaking the fuel burning within me for You,
You mend my drips and send a fiery spark to light me again.

I'm on fire for You once again, burning, blazing,
Spreading like flames among the brambles.

I am a light, strong and radiant, burning only for Your glory.

Daydreams

I miss you, yet I'm not even sure I know you.

I want you, yet I don't really know what you are.

I feel you, yet I can't tell if you're really here or not.

I love you, yet you have no face in my dreams.

I wish I could tell you everything, but how can I when you're just a shadow, a whisper of what might be?

You're just a dream, that much is true, but I've had no better dream than you.

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
