Gaps in Geography
by A. Paige WhiteWhen some see only torn topography
empty gaps in a lonely geography
"Child, that will play"
Is the Father's word.
Might have missed the shot
but you're not forgot
in a world that has gone astray
Each to pursue his own wisdom,
what is right in his own eyes.
The gaps in His geography are giggling
while His topography is still wiggling
in pierced hands forming every today
Take joy! I am in the play.
The gaps in my geography are giggling
while my topography is still wiggling
in pierced hands forming our today
I am the truth, the life, the way
Remember to treasure all that I say.
Might have missed the shot
but you're not forgot
Your name is on my hands, alway.
When some see only torn topography
empty gaps in a lonely geography
"Child, that will play"
You can rest assured.
