Poem on the Roof
June 11, 2024
Another neat journal entry I found. Cool to reflect on. Sophomore year preseason! What a time.
From August 17, 2022
Sitting on the roof of Dupont. Sitting in his presence. Laying, seeing the cotton balls in the sky turn to a wispy glaze. Didn’t want to journal. Tired. Then the Lord gave me the idea to come and simply sit on the roof. Enjoy His creation.
Now here we are.
A silly little poem, a song:
Jesus, I need you
You’re the reason that I’m here.
When I need comfort,
You promise that you’re near.
You’re right here next to me
In my heart and in my soul.
I believe that you’ll guide me
Even when I grow old.
Jesus I love you
You’re my power and my strength.
My satisfaction,
Found in simplicity.
I am your daughter
My identity is firm
In your foundation,
Acceptance I never have to earn.
Jesus I thank you
New blessings every day
Oh, Lord, I need you,
With my life, in every way.
You restore the joy in my heart, Lord. Thank you.
I thought I needed to be alone but I simply needed time with You, surrounded by your great creation.
I’m tired, physically. Rejuvenate me, Lord! My body aches. Calves, Right shoulder/neck/upper bicep, jaw, ears… heal me, Lord! Restore my body and those of my teammates so that we may enjoy the fruits we bear this weekend after the work we’ve been putting in. Reap what we sow!
