Deep inside where the engine chokes
The day is heavy and the work is slow.

Be still means backlogs each and every way
So I need to move fast I cannot just stay.

Go slow, dear child, the day will wait
Go slow, dear one, I can only state
Go slow, my son, you are not late
Go slow, my one, another step just great.

When second, minute and hour hands all stop –
That day I remember well – so wanting to drop
Yet you took me and held me and …

I will go slow, dear Lord, the day will wait
I will go slow, dear God, I can only reiterate
I will go slow, my Father, I can only state
I can go slow, my One, one step (at a time) …
