trials

Gently as you speak
the words that I dread

Killing me softly
when sunlight has fled

Overrun by the wheel
of your needle’s thread

As you cap the lid
that leaves me speechless instead

Your love that is deep
the blanket that you give

To cover me when i’m wrecked
by the trials that I met

Killing me softly
showing me the way

This time believing
on the might of my faith

Killing me softly
loving me all the way

When you teach me gently
the wisdom of your slay.
