The Exchange

I extend one trembling hand
To take what He holds out to me...
His strength, His guidance, His love.
And with the other
I offer Him a mere token in comparison...
My weaknesses, my fears and my dreams.
And as I look into His eyes,
He smiles that genuine smile,
telling me that He understands
That I have given Him all that I have.
But, before the words of gratitude
Can leave my lips,
He silences them with His...
Quietly assuring me
That we have made
A fair exchange.

What the heart gives away is never gone ...
It is kept in the hearts of others.
