My Promise

A distant I stand,
A memory I draw close…
Pearls of time,
Now as dust , they lay.

A harden heart I bear.
I softening promise I make.
As all wounds You heal,
My heart I will first return.

Within Your embrace…
Home.
The longing ever stronger.
To just remain..

My stains are many,
My being untrue,
But truth my heart knows,
That home is only with You.
