"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.
