Gathering Hope
by Mary Jane Q Cross copyright 2007
I press my face against the glass,
gathering hope of what will last.
Petals fragrant, soft, bright
last in visions into night.
Fragile dreams of who I be;
numbered heartbeats 'til eternity.
My Lord my King, I do compel,
help to spend these heartbeats well...
that I might serve with hand and face,
breathed to life by Your sweet grace,
to serve again, not grasp, but give,
and by life's end...to fully live.
