Watch me perform it on YouTube
she comes into my life for such a short time
but I immediately feel something within me
tugging
pulling
wanting to be with her
wanting to see her face looking at me
and to see her lips talking
her voice speaking to me
wanting the impossible to happen
but with me even the possible things are impossible!
I like the way she stares at me and smiles
even though it’s a bit embarrassing
such a short time
what’s the point?
Maybe I am reading the newspaper of her face
but missing the real point of each story
Lord, have mercy on me!
Because I find this emotion wholly illogical
and so it throws me into a mild form of confusion
in so short a time she will be gone
and then I’ll never see her again
so this short episode will be over
leaving me
if only for once it would all work out right
but is that what I really want?
Of course it all works out for GOOD
but does it all work out right?
The GOOD here is an objective reality
planned by God,
sent to me in a subjective package
but what is right in this case
is my own subjective desires
which are not always so aware of all the factors as God is
o, Lord, may this situation not be wasted
but please let it work out for good
Aw, this is a feeling many of us know so well!! You put it so simply, and yet so profound!! Quite touching my friend; it aches at the heart!
ReplyDeleteThe human condition - wanting to be loved. I think I remember the specific lady in question, but it is also generic. Thankfully, the impossible happened when I met my wife. 😊 So God take can do miracles.
