Sometimes

Sometimes

Sometimes I like to sit and listen --
    to the silence that surrounds
Sometimes I like to jump and yell --
    let my excitement loose
Sometimes I feel very much alone --
    lost in my thoughts and work
Sometimes I feel God's comfort --
    held through the darkest storm
Sometimes I find fulfillment --
    meaning in the work I do
Sometimes I find frustrations --
    setbacks every which way I turn
Sometimes I am motivated --
    energized to run every race
Sometimes I am tired by everything --
    wearied by the noise and distractions

Yet at the end of each and every day
I can hear the still, quiet voice and know
I can find joy and comfort --
Not in my feelings, accomplishments, surroundings --
But rather in the constancy of God.
