40

At Forty

My soul sings now,

for it has found

what once was lost.

Every atom in me rejoices

in the love I have in You

a love so vast

it breaks the borders

of space and time.

I understand the Good News now.

God, my Father,

our Creator,

loves me with a depth

no mind can hold,

no language can capture,

no universe can contain.

I am a part of You.

I am one with You.

Daily I yearn

to rest in Your presence

to be still,

to know,

to remember

the truth of who I am.

The truth of who we all are.

Let the days ahead

be shaped by boldness,

softened by love,

and guided wholly

by Your will in me,

as it is in the heavens.
