The rock pool

Tiny little sheltered rock pool
Calm and peaceful here
Though the waves are crashing
Nothing touches your tranquility
Soon: as the ride returns
Soon as all things must be
The waves will come crashing
Disturbing your sweet tranquility
Tiny limpets clinging to the rock
Will surely buffeted be
As sea comes crashing in
As the waters meet the shore
Yes this is the daily meeting
That God has ordained for thee
Every day repeated: yes surely
Every day will come again
Just as God ordained: for eternity
Yes the waves may come
Yes the waves may be
But always dearest Lord
They follow after Thee
