Reflecting on John 21:22
If God wants to
take someone in a chariot
He can do it
If God wants to
cut life short or make dry bones live
He can do it
And if God
wants to surprise me
with his love
so that I can run on that in an imperfect world
for forty-eight
more turns of the same
that is just
fine with me
I no longer
fear the old lady,
the old lady I
would be at that age--
I don’t know if
I would recognize myself at that age
if I saw her at
the Odd Fellows home tomorrow,
but I don’t
worry anymore if I would.
If I forget
everything he has ever taught me
which I so
easily can do—today
it would not
matter
Yes, even if I
live to be a scary age
I know I am his
child
And that is all
I need
