Try imagining
That it’s God’s work
And not yours
Instead of making
A list,
As others do,
Try unmaking one
Be encouraged:
Past performance
Does not necessarily
Predict future results
Still, the would-be faithful
Of every tribe, tongue
And income bracket
Have truly learned
That results may vary
Instead of always examining
Your own heart
Try tracing
The condensation trail
A jet has left
Across the sky
Maybe that’s not
A very good example
But I think you
Get the idea
It could have been a robin
Patiently pecking at
A wet patch of earth
