POEM
When I am troubled And lost in deep despair I bundle all my troubles up And go to God in Prayer.... I tell Him I am heartsick And lost and lonely, too, That my mind is deeply burdened And/ don't know what to do.... But I know He still the tempest And calmed the angry sea
And I humbly ask if in His love
He'll do the same for me.... And then I just keep quiet And think only thoughts ofpeace
And ifI abide in stillness
My "restless murmuring" cease.
