So Far, So Dear

Heavy is my load-
I carry
I bare
Grievances for my Beloved-
He carries
He shares

I showed Him my heart
I put it on display
He showed up not
And went on His way

Lighten my load
I beg, I plea!
Still He distances
Himself from hopeless me

Tender is my heart-
And faith the rope
It ties me to Him-
And I can't let go

My secrets long
For His longing ear-
To give providence
To my Love-
So far, so dear
