What Glenn Writes

My daughter wrote a poem for a dear friend battling cancer. She is my guest blogger today as she shares this poem with you.

A Dance With God

He holds my hands,
And I hold His eyes,
It eases the pain,
The torment the lies.
 
When life gets tough,
I’ll ride on His back,
He protects me,
Blocks every attack.
 
He holds me close,
Never letting go,
He’s so tall,
Yet He leans down low.
 
He says shall we dance,
And the music starts to play,
Its so peaceful,
Only He makes me feel this way.
 
And then I dance with God,
We don’t dance to fast,
It could go on forever,
But the music won’t last.
 
I’ll stray away,
Cuz of me He cried,
But He’ll always have me back,
With arms open wide.

I’ll get hit with rocks,
I’ll fall off His shoulders,
But when I look back,
He’s holding the boulders.
 
All that hits me,
He knows I can take,
And when its all over,
A better me it will make.
 
I may feel forgotten,
But He’s always right there,
Holding me tight,
With extra care.
 
When I cry He wipes away my tears,
when I am scared He quiets my fears.
 
And then I dance with God,
We don’t dance to fast,
It could go on forever,
But the music won’t last.
 
I’ll stray away,
Cuz of me He cried,
But He’ll always have me back,
With arms open wide.

My thanks to Karli for sharing this beautiful encouragement and blessing. I am struck by how her words reveal the depth of her faith, and how much I can learn from my own children.
