Sacred Summer

Hit me in the heartache

My baby climbing over

my legs, mountain ranges

Little girl insists on

goodbye hugs and late night

Conversations & bedtime

Stories, how we lived the life

We built & made at the

flowered altar Jesus adorned

Suffering doesn’t make us

closer to God

Perseverance does

Let me mow the grass

Another day you ask

Now it’s long enough to endure

101 degrees in the shade

Let us grow toward perseverance

You & I

Let us stretch our branches like

Antlers growing toward He who

Wears crowns of thorns for us

Our roots digging

down into the earth

He made for us
