How lengthy did it take, Lord,
to clean and polish these stones
within the wash of ocean waves?
Lots of of years?
billions of waves?
eons of affected person ready?
Take not so lengthy
to clean all my tough edges, Lord,
to shine me with mercy ’til I shine,
till my face displays your glory
slowly washing me in waves of grace,
patiently persistent,
alongside your timeless shores…
Amen.
