"That I Abide With Thee In Case You Wondered"
Maurice Manning

You must keep going you have to tell
yourself again and again I learn

from the tree the bird's one twirling song
is the simple truth I won't know God

except by signs like these I know
the signs are always there for me

the cloud-patch drifts with wisdom Lord
help thou my unbelief give me

the perfect patience of the rain
the word for stone is a word I need

to say you cause my mouth to say it
you make my heart to sing one day

you'll make me fly away for good
I won't remember any words

when I unspeaking flame into
the tree I'll be what I know now

I will not hurt it anymore
you know how hard I wait for then

you know I love the tree for what
it is with all my heart a tree

will you believe I'm praying all
the time when I'm asleep and when

I wake I think you will I'll tell
myself there isn't anything

okay there isn't anything
you see how all of this adds up

a zero with a God inside?

Thank you for your comments on the "Abandoned Farmhouse" entry in regards to cuts. Based on the majority response of B (no cuts except for long poems or potentially triggering ones), I will stick with the system already in place. Thanks again.
