[as]

i am laying in a little wooden boat
floating on a wide wide river
on the shore are pleasant trees
pleasant towns, pleasant people
i am in the middle of the wide river
no one can hear my shout
no one notices me in my little boat
above me is God in the great open sky
all around me is smooth flowing water
i am all alone in my boat without oars
i am glad God guides my boat
or i would have sunk or run aground
sometimes i grow tired of His leading
i have considered jumping out,
swimming to shore, joining the people there
always His voice brings me back
"Trust Me. Have patience, daughter. Wait."
His words bring contentment in Him
and in my little boat back into my soul
i'm laying in my little wooden boat without oars
looking at the stars. gazing at the moon
i wonder.
where will my little boat land?
who will be waiting for me on shore?
He is guiding my boat to the best place for me
i dip my fingers in the water.......
