Excuses

So I've been busy...not a good excuse, but it's really the only one I can come up with for why I haven't been writing. I wrote a poem today though, which was inspired by the feathery find I made on my way to Irving today, and I wanted to post it up here. It doesn't have a name yet so if you can think of one let me know! I also wanted to share some prayer requests and what not =)

I will cover you with my feathers
He said to me one day
Under my wings you will find refuge⎯
a safe place for you to stay

I'll send feathers down to guide you
a sign to lead the way
you'll find them when you need to
listen to what I have to say

I'll place them on the sidewalk
in the grass, or in your hair
sometimes you won't find any
but know I'm always there

You'll find them when you need to
reminders along the way
telling you I LOVE YOU
even though you often stray

If you ever need protection
my wings will be your shield
they'll stand the stormy weather
no matter what⎯they'll never yield

Because He is my help
I'll sing beneath His wings
He's forever here to LOVE me
whatever this life brings.

I listen when He speaks
His comfort I will seek
His feathers guide my way
even though the darkest day
