Kept Safe

Too often
I have been
lord
of my life
and wanted
a little god
to run around
for me
to do
those little extra chores
I never seem
to manage.
I have been
disappointed
when he didn’t
come
when I snapped
my fingers.

But now I know
the one
who is truly
Lord of all.
No matter
what happens
I am safe
in his embrace.
I am his
and he is mine
forever.
