Dear God,
Just as the waves keep crashing the shore
and life throws blow after blow,
I will continue to stand and fight.
Regardless of the circumstances,
Your steady hand and nurturing presence
are the rocks that will not wither
and the base of the foundation
for which I stand.
Having soared among the eagles
at the highest altitudes one day
and having crawled
across the desert floor another,
I look to You faithfully
as I prepare for another day
under Your watchful eye.
Equipped with the faculties
You have granted and brought forth,
I fly over the fire, once again.
Blanketed with Your love and protection,
victory is mine
as the battle rages on.
The view is magnificent
from this elevation;
today, I soar. Dean Gusic
