In the timeless quiet of passing hours

Comes a knock, a call, a note

I am loved and carried in the thoughts of friends

I reach out to You Lord from pain and sorrow

Thru the window a beam of golden sunrise from heaven

And I awaken to Your warming comfort

At times I feel lost and aimless

But then a multicolored awe inspiring sunset

And I feel part the color of wondrous creation

Often I am feeling down and depressed

Suddenly then, a friend’s warm and gentle touch

And I am connected, never alone

Then I worry and wonder, what next

But I see my reflection in the glint of my friends’ eyes

It doesn’t matter…I am treasured and loved

Sometimes I hurt and shed a tear

Unannounced, a smile comes, a caring voice

I am comforted and soothed

When I feel worn out and just so tired

In a pillow, a soft tune, a warm blanket

I rest. I know I am held in Jesus’ hands

For I am a unique thread woven in the fabric of His creation

Together with all others, adding my texture, color and strength

Serving needed purpose and adding special form

A critical part of the garment of life

Which wraps us all in His everlasting love
