So clever You are 
reaching out to me
through human hearts along the way – 
for You knew 
my uplifting
had to be kept from me
at first – 
my own nature deluded 
so deeply 
in ignorant shame and despair.
How grateful I am
that they were there
seeking Your eternal peace
trusting when they could not see
and living just enough of You
to facilitate
Your 
uplifting 
of
me.
