The Edge of the Falls

She stands within the rushing stream

Upon the falls steep edge,
And yet she feels no fear at all,
Teetering on the ledge.
 
For there is peace in solitude,
And few will join her there.
That leaves her free to face her fears
And challenge her despair.
 
There’s so much that she has to face,
So much to still get through,
That sometimes she doubts “getting through”
Is something she can do.
 
Yet she has faith in God’s great plan,
So she’ll get up and try.
Who knows, she might just take a chance,
Leap off the edge and fly.
 
Isaiah 66:12
For this is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees.
