Cindy Powell

You are my best thought

My highest hope

My deepest peace

My greatest joy 

You are the purest air—

The place where I can breathe

The place where I can see

Clearly

Yet sometimes 

My thoughts of You

Drift, shift, and scatter

Sometimes they disappear

Before they are even fully formed

Dancing away on the wind 

Floating off 

Fueled by the cares of life 

Until, once again, I remember 

You are my best thought

Your mercy draws me back

Again and again and again

To my favorite place

To my favorite One

To that hidden place

That quiet place 

That secret place …

Of life in You

You ARE my best thought

And one day

Only thoughts of You will remain

One day

All my attention

All my affection

All my thoughts

Will be focused on You

And You alone

Forever
