What i Needed

When I needed to hear
words to convince me
of the depth and presence of Love,
and how they could heal me
and focus my life's purpose,
they were there

And when I needed to hear
music falling from the sky
sifted through the fir trees,
calling out from three trees away,
it was there in my ears

When I needed a sign that,
despite the garden's failings,
we would gain the skills we need -
though through lessons I am slow to learn,
in time I'll find I've learned enough -
that sign was there

I will not ask for more
than the constant care that guides my days.
I will watch humbly to be shown
and strive to act
as I am led.
