oh, Canada (part I)

just all of a sudden
and out of the blue
i hated this summer
just because of you.

the call was first good news
but then i heard yours

this is the beginning
of coming to grips

not words, not a…

the swells of emotion
have come and they go
but love is a process
with lessons you know.

to bring us to Himself
for He’s on our side.


(i know it’s not over
we will struggle still
but praise to the Beauty
who keeps us in His will.)
