Baca. A valley.

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
I crossed it once
And it burned and parched
and stressed.
A dismal Trek of desolation.
To one who thought
Faith always brought the best.
But prayers gave waters
By their persistence
And showers natural
Filled the pools.
A testimony
Let all doubters hear it.
Our God rules. He rules.


Note: The word baca translates tears.
