Safe Keeping

A flash of light and a crash of sky

awoke me with a start

my sweet dreams, shattered, from the fierce pounding in my heart

Frantically, I searched the space for my FASTEST

running shoes

From this storm, I'd race away....

just escaping CERTAIN DOOM

And so I ran in the wind and rain

With hope against hope, I silently prayed

that when the eye of this disaster came

I'd fall into a sheltering place

My protection from reckless pain

Then, at the HEIGHT of my horrible dream

you caused me to awaken

and recalling the sounds and scenes I'd envisioned

this child was quite shaken...

BUT, you whispered as a mother would that I had only been dreaming

and you promised me that held in your hands,

I'd always find safe keeping.

When I typed "with hope against hope"....I thought, "I wonder where that comes from?"
It actually looks to have originated in Romans 4:18...

Even when there was no reason for hope,
Abraham 
(this is one of those places....you know, where your name would also fit) 
kept hoping.
He (She) was (is) fully convinced that God is able 
to do whatever He promises.
