not forgotten.

i want for something
©11-25-08 Hannah Muonio

i know that You have not forgotten me
that plans You’ve made before my existence
will be.
promises of a faithful God.

but i do not know Your plans
i do not know Your thoughts
and i do not understand Your ways.

i know that You see me
with a clarity that far surpasses my own
smudged perception.
wills, wants, worries
crumpled in my wringing hands
can only be redeemed in Yours…
so why am i afraid
to let them go?

i know that You have not forgotten me
that plans You’ve made before my existence
will be.
promises of a faithful God.

i wish i could say
that i want for nothing.
but truth be told
lack pains me.
but deeper yet,
my desire for nothing apart from You
so here i am.

my heart is sick with hope deferred
but still my whole person
fights for what You’ve given me to hold.

i am alone
why have You left me alone?






and yet
i know that You have not forgotten me
that plans You’ve made before my existence
will be.
promises of a faithful God.
