Trust or Doubt: A Poem
(based on Matthew 14:22-33)
With a wide-eyed wonder, I see you standing there
Walking on water, but with confidence to your air
I want to be with you, experience the power firsthand
I know the waters and earth obey your every command
I place a toe or two and look up to see your expression
You wear a smile on your countenance
So I surrender onto the sea and almost freely dance
As you welcome me with outstretched arms of love
I've never quite experienced such reception on earth or above
I hear the wind, the storm encompasses me with doubt
My eyes shoot away in a distracted glance, my face forms into a pout
Before I can think of the journey from actions to consequences
I sink into the furious waves and my doubt makes further advances
I hear a crying of help towards you escaping from me
At that very moment, you reached out your hand to catapult me to safety
You say, "You of little faith," but I still see love in your eyes
The seamate audience believes in Him and they worship Him without disguise!
