MATTIE'S CHRISTIAN PAGES

QUIET SOLITUDE

 

 

I have no words of beauty

With which to speak His words,

No silver tongue or stilted phrase,

None of these will be heard.

 

A simple girl, feet in the

Drifted sand, listening to the wind,

As it whispers His words

Of peace and love.

 

Silence in the stillness,

Bright sunny day,

Surrounded by all of

Heaven sent by the ray.

 

Isolated in the vastness,

Yet never quite alone,

For Angels seem to hover

Over those loved ones below.

 

This girl of tender mercies,

So close to Nature’s breast,

Plays in the sand and listens

To Heaven’s quest.

 

To find God in His mercy

And lean upon His word,

To trust in Him completely,

No evil will be heard.

 

“I am with you,” words were spoken

By the Angel on that day,

As she sat upon her porch,

She listened, too young to pray!

 

But the promise softly spoken

Lives within her still today,

And she trusts those words, still new,

in her heart even this day!
