Trouble in My Wake

The flurry of the day is done

And settled in my wake.

It started with anxiety

Before dawn yet could break,

But ere the sun had set again

The waves had all grown still.

It seems you had it well in had…

And that you always will.

So thank you for the calming seas

And for the gentle tide;

Thank you for your faithfulness

In staying by my side.

But most of all, I thank you for

Redeeming each mistake

And helping me to leave them all

Behind me, in my wake.
