"Held"

"Held," dedicated to Isaac

To be held is a secure thing.

It is comforting,

and it feels safe.

This week I have been held,

both by human arms

but mostly by divine.

I have experienced the deepest security imaginable.

I am held:

always,

constantly,

lovingly.

I am held:

held safe in the arms of God.

No hurricane-force can pull me free;

no plague can touch me there;

and nothing can snatch me away.

I am held.

Original composition, January 2012.
