I Want To Be A Lake

By Jacquie Wagner

I want to be a lake~
still, glass flat
reflecting, jade green,
His standing, multi-membered forest,
and flying friends in silver sky,
oh Majesty!
such loving message
in His creation~
to send out and back
praise for His awesome work!
A lake? but an ocean!v Surging, powerful, relentless~
faithful icon of His determined
insistent grace!
An ocean? perhaps a lighthouse!
The introvert’s delight!
Tall, solitary, overlooking
the beyond beautiful
yet sending forth His saving light!
What better?
Who I am in truth~
child of God,
His image-bearer,
beloved daughter,
ambassador for Christ,
following the Good Shepherd
as He leads to the lost,
the broken, the bound,
reaching with His redemption
and healing~Life!
