Psalm 86:5-7

you, LORD, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.

Bucket Tears

My tears fall always into the bucket.

The Ocean waves, “hello!”

I wave back, I slip into a deep drift.

Can you see the one man in the sea?

The boat sank and he drowned.

Do you still see him?

To this day I wonder.

Don’t let me sink below my hope.

For a man who loses hope, drowns where no one can see him.
