"Gently Letting Go

What stone in this life can you not hold

Visions self serving as we grow old

Leaving us drained of meaningfulness

Hollowed out with emptiness

Soften, yield then gently let go

The troubling pebbles from which we sow

Burdensome presumption of ours alone

That weights the heart as heaviest stone

Give to God the open hand

Lay down encumbrances and solemnly stand

He pours through your fingers, to full overflow

Fulfilling desires that you did not know

Until you let go of what you perceive

From Him the best you cannot receive

So …soften, yield then gently let go

That His perfect gifts may into your life flow
