4.19. 2019 Good Friday…[ the road not yet taken]
through the years I know I’ve tried
to understand God and conceptualize
to comprehend and follow
and try to get to know him
to make my choice to be his man
to believe in, trust, obey
and perceive him as I can
to talk with, thank him, pray
and request him
to feel the presence, the
absence, the unknowness
to ask for forgiveness, to express
my sorry, to appreciate and
pray yet again for tomorrow.
at seventy six, on a good Good Friday
I’ve find I’ve struck a nerve of an untried highway
at seventy six well down my road
I realize that I’ve missed a goad
the only one that the Words actually tell
as the path to run. to know more well;
to love him, is the road I’ve missed.
Not to ask or bleed or run or resist
but to love him
that ‘till now I’ve missed
so far that is. but today’s the day
to give that kiss
and start upon our common way.
