To You have I raged
Anger and disappointment
Like tempest strewn
Destruction and dust
The mountain of Trust

Though I stomp and cried
You held on to me tight
The tears may cloud
The bruised heart taking
Flight
The paths, the ways not
Of Thy Light
But Dear God, You
Stayed on by my side

You patiently watch my
Acts of distrust
Reaching out to steady
And protect
Watchful eyes, doting
Heart
Gentle warmth thrusting
out the chill of the
night..

And When the storm had
Subsided
And the Thrashings ceased,
In remorse and contrite
heart ,
I look for Thee..
Ever loving, ever comforting;
Thy understanding smile
Is all I see-
Thy presence reassuringly near…
And then-
Dear God, I realised
Again I have wronged Thee...
