What follows is a poem I heard while listening to a message.
It spoke to me.
Maybe to you too.
i caught a glimpse of you just the other day
in the wide open eyes of that screaming baby
as my frazzled nerves
were moving me to forget
(you’re not fooling me)
i saw you shuffling down the street
begging for my loose change-
your hands stretched out and your breath
smelling like whiskey
(i almost missed you there)
i recognized your voice just underneath
the voice of that woman
when she was irritating me
with her heartless gossip-
thank you for getting my attention
just in time
before i unleashed a harsh judgment
or joined her
(you’re so good)
i love the way you come to me
in these clever disguises
holding up a mirror so i can see myself too
i’m looking for you jesus
where will you show up today?
