I Felt Your Hand

I felt your hand

I felt Your hand

gently upon my shoulder.

“Fear not, my child.

You must be bolder.”

 

I felt Your breath

upon my neck,

whispering in my ear,

“Don’t look at the speck.”

Your booming voice

came gently to my ears—

“Tomorrow is in My hands.

Worry not about the years.”

 

I felt Your arms

carry me o’er rock and dale.

“Be still, my child.

I have yet to fail.”
