Waiting and Watching....Hoping

Oddly enough, I can't remember writing this one so I can't give you any background to this particular poem. I would guess, based on the structure and message, that this was written sometime during my college years (1978-1982). But I still like the message. 

My Turn

Lord,

Open the door

And I will go.

Give me

The words

And I will speak.

Give me

The strength

And I will serve.

Give me

The heart

And I will love.

Let the stones

Be silent,

Mute the heavens

So that I might

Raise my life

In praise.

I love you

Lord God.
