a poem for C. T. (who is from S.A.C.)

Storms and waves on every side But Jesus says, “no need to hide” only in a still, small voice can we hear the whispers of Christ

Oh! clang and noise of war! and our wounds so sore! “where is God?” we cry helplessly but Jesus says, “I'm in the boat, with thee”

“do you believe – wind and sea obey me – or, do you crave – even more faith – ?”

as wise elders say: the greatest thing you can learn is to love and be loved in return
