Only HIs Hands

Alima Bahshoota

Free verse
Like the tide comes in, you go out
Leaving things I do not know about,
Like the seagulls cry, you complain,
Leaving me at fault and at blame.
But the rocks at sea are just like him
Firm for me to stand on.
Because God's the light,
that guides my way,
And only his hands must I land on
