High maintenance
A draining need to supply
Ups and downs
Lows and highs
Lord deliver me
from this empty dry
thirsty need to be approved
yet often disapproved
scraping to maintain . . . what?
Is it love?
Lord help me
To walk assured
May peoples opinions
Become blurred
And may my eyes
be more focused still
walking in the liberty
of your perfect will.
To be pleasing to you
Become my hearts thrill
My confidence become rooted
In your approving smile
My thirst quenched
My strength rejuvenated
In your river Nile.
