I take this day one day at a time
Even though the hill ahead seems steep to
climb
I look to you Lord as I walk on ahead
But sometimes these legs of mine feel
like lead
I continue on oblivious of everything
else
And as I walk the tears in my eyes begin
to well
I am shaking and nervous all at once
As I know the weeks ahead will include
some bumps
But I am ready to move forward and look
beyond
To this meeting with my daughter of whom
I am very fond
I can not wait to meet her and see what
happens
Who knows where we will meet it could
even be Clapham
There are lots of days in which I can
prepare
Whereby I hope our relationship can be
mended beyond repair
She will have lots of questions this I
know
I just pray that in her I can give seeds
that can be sown
And tell her about my faith which has
brought me through
And that I can be a witness to her in
just about everything I do
I was surprised by the letter which I
received the other day
And I was hoping and at times I sat down
to pray
For the right outcome to come out of this
letter in my hand
And so, it did to an extent and I had
feelings like sinking sand
Because I was told that this was to be a one-off
meeting
I just pray that when we do get together
it won’t be just fleeting
I have a lot to prepare for even though
it is weeks away
I need to remember that my personal
feelings I need to put at bay
For this is about Damaris and not at all
to do with me
For how this meeting goes in the end we
will just have to wait and see
I must remember not to build up my hopes
I wonder what will happen but then again
how long is a piece of rope
For I can not predict the future or what
takes place after
For me the weeks ahead could not go very
much faster
Patience is the key and I must at all
times remain very calm
If I need words of encouragement, then I
can just turn to the book of Psalms
For the words written there will keep me
in check
Otherwise I just think I would be at the
end a nervous wreck
If all else fails and I don’t feel I can
remain quite strong
Then I can look to you which is indeed
where I know I belong
For my faith will surely see me through
these days and weeks
As I know without a shadow of a doubt my
faith is for keeps
I also pray that through her upbringing
that Damaris might know you
For living by faith and grace alone will
surely bring us both through
So, whatever the outcome may it be a positive
one at that
I just hope for both our sakes the
meeting doesn’t go flat
With lots to catch up on and tons of news
to share
May it be a time of enlightenment and one
of flair
May we both go away with good thoughts
and a smile
Will we will meet again, maybe never or
even by chance once in awhile
