Uplift

UPLIFT

In nature’s grip
A shroud and blanket thick
Suspends all life
And human endeavour

Stopped in our tracks
Frustration and delay
Besets us all
No respite given here

We cannot help
Or force a wanted change
In fortune fair
When wrapped in nature’s night

Though not foreseen
Patience and time will make
With astral rays
The shroud to wane and fade

For even this
Nature’s unwanted screen
Is subject to
The will of Him who made

The universe
In which our planet spins
And moves in time
To His omnipotence

He who directs
And orders human minds
And wills to His
Unfathomable grace

Also directs
All weathers to His will
Even the shroud
Succumbs and melts away
