The Hand of God

Christina Long 1972 (United States)

The hand of God
 
By the hand of God
Here I sit
On this very pod
I do not fit
By cause or allow
I am here
Others may follow
Without fear
I have a way
Without a tear
Times will sway
I will leave here
For a better place
A better life
For with grace
With little strife
I will proceed
I will be prime
In my day
I will be
My way
Sitting by the sea
Have not one need
Then I will proceed
Continue to feed
Others to succeed
