Psalm 102 — Remember Me
A Ballad
I blend my tears with ashes and
I make a loaf of bread.
My days expire like vapour,
Like smoke, a wisp, a thread.
I am a sparrow, lost, alone
In wilderness astray.
My heart is withered ‘neath the sun;
Oh God, to You I pray!
But You, Oh God, are evermore,
And You remember me.
Although I fade, You will go on,
And You remember me.
Oh, hear my prayer; do not hide
Your face from me, Oh Lord.
Incline Your ear to me and hear
When I feel shunned, ignored.
And I will write for those to come
About Your mercy, God,
That You are hope and faith and love,
Before You I am awed.
For You, Oh God, are evermore,
And You remember me.
Although I fade, You will go on,
And You remember me.
Esther learned to read when she was four years old, and began writing shortly thereafter. She is a queer Christian poet, crafting with words to create art and music.
