Musing in the Morning

I was stupid and did not understand, * no better than a beast in your sight.
Yet I was always in your presence ; * you were holding me by my right hand.

One of the most forbidden of words
in the playground
yet there it is
and true

it stings a bit
if I’m honest

for the rest
we try to trust
that it is also true

give us grateful,
generous, and
courageous hearts
to meet the day.
