I heard a crash and then a cheer
On an icy Winter day
I went out to investigate
And the waves drew me in near
As I walked along the snowy path
The scene became more clear
The wind threw my hair across my face
The trees began to sneer
I saw the life I thought I'd have
By now if plans were mine
But then I saw another one
Not so governed by time
The waves rolled in again so fast
And crashed against the ice
It cut a piece off, threw it up
As though a game of dice
The honking geese flew on above
A southbound path to follow
My heart was filled with abundant love
For God who this dream did allow
The knives soaring on the icy wind
Drew me from my reverie
As I gazed out across the lake
A peaceful calm overcame me
I still do not know where I'll be
In ten years, or even three
But for now I'm grateful for where I am
And the waves that spoke to me
