I REACH

I reach for You with out-stretched hand,
But You don't seem to see,
My hand is almost touching You,
Yet, You don't reach for me.

Oh, my heart is reaching for You too,
And it seems You are ignoring me.
Why? Why do You ignore me so?
Or am I too close to You to see?

"My Child, of course I see your out-stretched hand,
It is resting on my broad, and loving, chest.
For you see, My Little Butterfly, all of the time,
I've been carrying you through your difficult tests."

When He spoke these words to my heart,
It was then that I truly did SEE,
That His Love, His Mighty, Abiding Love,
Is what carries us through this worldly sea.
