A psalm

How long, O Lord?
How long must I watch as the seed I planted is picked at and analyzed
By the one who should be watering it?


How long until this ache I keep assessing for signs of real cardiac pain
Stops fibrillating and starts resting in the rhythm of
Your grace?


But I’ll sing
Of your goodness because it helps my heart stop hurting
And most of all because you are good


No matter what, you are good
