Hey Lisa

nice to read you here and to see all of reads and responses

of course you know I love the entire poem, but this stanza speaks to me:

" Inside the temple of my longing
I was drowning in uncharted waters
until I was mercifully rescued
by the grace of your savior hands. "

great poem...love ya
