The sting of disappointment
Wanes as we remember
God does not see statistics
Or percentages or numbers
He is not interested
In the boast of our ‘smarts’
But rather, he searches
And knows our hearts
One cannot be
Both proud and wise
There is nothing hidden
From our Maker’s eyes
The boast of the mouth
Reveals many flawed parts
But God knows the truth
The sting of disappointment
Is not quite so sharp
If we ‘trust in the Lord
A foolish man looks
In the mirror and forgets
That God sees beyond
The face on his head

Thankfully God does see beyond.
