Carpentry 101


My edges are ragged, torn, chipped and broken.
Resistance cuts, burns, scratches and wears my surface away.

Next to You, my efforts are useless to Your smoothing, gentle strength.
You come with Your tools and fix me; so much work to be done, so very much.

You do Your best work when I'm too tired to push. How You bring out the beauty I never see myself.
