I am soft
melted this evening
thoughts drifting north
across miles
and mindsets
eight more sleeps
until we take wing
nostalgia is thick
as I listen to
Oh Canada
with tears brimming
almost close enough
to taste maple on my tongue
three months from now
will I repeat this
in reverse
facing our African return?
split lives
yet let my heart beat
an undivided rhythm
only His
Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.

Such a beautiful, poignant poem. I've never experienced the beauty of Africa, except through pictures, but I did live in Canada for three years as a child. I have wonderful memories of our time there. I pray you have safe travels and enjoy your visit home.
