Wondering

~ I Wonder ~

Did Godde see I needed this time alone

to grapple with the questions I used to

ask wrestling with my preacher Dad? 

Was this unwanted present a gift of

Grace LOVE knew would benefit my

pondering soul with silent time to think?

time for this old book worm to curl up

with Word Godde un-interrupted by

that loved human voice now gone 

time to mine deeply rooted lessons

planted in days long gone - now nurtured

in new answers first formed on Mother’s lap

yet always re-forming through the years

as new questions rose to challenge --

to clarify old answers with new

Wondering
