resiliance

Because God has been teaching me so much, and I've been learning so much, and I've been dreaming big dreams, but I sit, and I wait for tomorrow, hoping it'll never really come.

"resiliance"
In the shade of my own tree,
I will fight the good fight
while I lie here a while
with the fruit of my branches
to keep me company.

I will stay here (under my tree)
and watch the river flow
and watch the trees grow
and watch the people go
find trees of their own.

Because my tree is mine
and I am mine
and my fruit is yours
(while my fruit's really mine)

So we'll stay here,
my brother Jonah and I,
and watch.

Because,
when there is shade and despair,
watching is what we do best.

Hey Ab,
Would you consider making a list of the things God's been teaching you this semester? Just bullet points -if bullet points are at all possible to do with the things God's teaching you.

Your poem sounds like the Holy Spirit is drawing you out to do something...
