I rarely write poetry. But this one sprang out at me during my run yesterday. I confess I am no poet and I agonized over its many flaws to no avail. I had to write it the way it is written. I hope you all enjoy. The Gatekeeper
Guard my heart, O Gatekeeper—
Keep me gathered in.
Bind your arms 'round me—
Be my only kin.
Lock the door, O Gatekeeper—
Guide my vision too.
My eyes are prone to wander—
Keep them fixed on you.
I am lost, O Gatekeeper—
Unless in your fold.
My hands, they are empty—
Give them yours to hold.
Marry me, O Gatekeeper—
My only shelter be.
Finish what you started—
Let me rest in Thee.
