Perhaps - a poem

Perhaps it's best to just stop

To take a moment and look

Seeing all that has happened

And is about to become

Perhaps if we waited

Just a little more, each morning

We’d see what is happening

And who we are becoming

Perhaps there is grace

A place to do life over

Where what has been

And what has become, can be changed

Perhaps

There were words I never knew

Seasons I never felt

Streams that remained full

Until now

Perhaps it’s time to step back

Surveying all that we are

Choosing what will happen

And seeking whom we should become

Perhaps we won’t have tomorrow

That right now is all we see

To make life happen

And to love who we are

Person of Grace

Father of Justice

Spirit of Peace

Truth

Love

Wisdom

Triune God who calls us into the perhaps

Help us

Even as we wade into deep, deep waters
