Beside the Clay
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
Does it help
If I just simply sit a while
Here beside
You as you reel in recent pain?
Naught to say
No thoughts to re-invent your smile.
Hurts too much.
Will you hold up ‘neath all this strain?
Sun will rise
But it will surely take a while.
God is love.
You, clay upon His wheel again.
Turning, yearning
For relief and smiles.
Revelation comes with cost
His dawning Domain.
Consider our Ebook of years back.
