The Shelter of His Wings

The Shelter of His Wings

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

A gentle touch,

A lullaby hush.

The quiet place

Within His grace.

 

A longing deep,

A peace that keeps.

Surrendering all things

Beneath the shelter of His wings.

 

Comfort where there is none,

Hope when the clouds hide the sun.

Faith when knowing there’s more,

Courage to seek what’s in store.

 

As a bird finds rest

In its mother’s nest,

So too, can we cling

To the shelter of His wings.

A simply splendid piece. Ive said before, sometimes the shortest verses speak the loudest words... This is one of those times. Poetic perfection !
Thank you for the inspiration

So too, can we cling
To the shelter of His wings."
