I spin in circles…
Not as a young child twirls
Not as a lovely yellow umbrella between the fingers of a lady
But as a dry blanket of dust, searching for my soul to be made full.
I look over my shoulder…
Wanting to be appreciated by my peers
Wanting to be admired by strangers and those who know me well
But I find emptiness in my efforts.
I drop to my knees…
Alone, empty and seeking
I lift my eyes upward…
Feeling peace and calm
Feeling the rest that only giving your cares over can bring
And I find my value rests in Him alone

beautiful writing, kate! i can completely relate to this, and am sure that many others can too. i bet you’d be surprised though, at how many people admire you. even those who have only met you in person once but think you are fabulous! 🙂
Dear Katie,
That sounds like my heart discussion with the Lord this week too. But your imagery is always so beautiful. You just keep growing and growing. I love love that too. You are precious, unique, and totally admirable.

So beautiful and true. Why do we always insist on looking elsewhere? It reminds me of Psalm 121: I lift my eyes up …
Thank you for sharing your beautiful poem!
