Lost and Found - A Prayer...

 

 

*

 

I tire of loss

I'm longing for Found

a little less Loss

a little more Found

 

To know You, God

sans smoke screen

sans all the

less-than lenses

that have been given me

to See

 

I want to be Amazed

Again

by Grace

by Mercy

by Second

and Third

and Thousanth

Chances

 

I want to stand

Tippy-Toed

and Wide Eyed

as I once did

as a child

full of anticipatory Delight

 

my trusting hands outstretched to Yours

waiting for inevitable

Wonderful...

 

I want to know

the One

Who lost love also

in that garden long ago

Who, with anguished Heart

and Sorrowed Soul

went looking for it,

in earnest,

Longing for Found

 

as I do.
