Turn the clocks back!

Die a little,

Maybe a lot;

Life must change,

Darkness must grow

In sense and stature;

Stressful time!

But no denying it

If we want to remain

A part of the fabric of life;

So we die,

A little, a lot;

A good death!

In the end

We find life still

In the darkness.

God is serious

About being the father, the parent,

The adult in our relationship;

We should be serious

About being the child.

Christ did not permit

His knowledge of His divinity

To interfere with

His dependence on or

His resignation to

The Father.

Neither should we permit

Any foolish, prideful,

Human knowledge which

We might have attained

To interfere with our own

Dependence and resignation.

We must never get lost

In our adulthood or

In our independence or

In our sense of responsibility

Before men.

We must remain a child

Before our Almighty, Good Creator

Above all things, always.

It is the uncertainty

Of life and

Of love

That tears away

The fabric of

Our being, our order;

In truth, the uncertainty

Cannot be ignored or denied;

However, the definition

Of life and

Of love

Can be manipulated

To minimize uncertain being;

And the disorder?

It can be given to

The author of the uncertainty.

I cannot fix the brokenness

That the world has given to me,

But I can stop running to it,

Embracing it and clinging to it;

Thinking it is mine,

Making it mine or

Giving it to anyone else;

And rather I can give fiat

To eternal grace and peace and truth.

               There is very little

               I find in my heart

               Which I desire to see or

               To hear every day,

               So I search within

               The emptiness I find;

               Then with the life I am given

               I can begin to play again,

               To pray again

               And to say

               I love you.

One can never be:

Poor enough of spirit;

Rich enough of courage;

Pure enough about truth; or

Sure enough about God.
