TUESDAY THOUGHTS: POETRY PROMPT---THE SINGERS WERE THERE

Perhaps someone knows why

It is ever so

That the singers aren’t certain 

Where they should go

Or aren’t welcome

Or must wait for an invitation

To move from the shadows 

Of the congregation

I can only imagine the strength of the song
If the singers had all been
Where they belonged
And the singers were there 
I saw all of their faces
They were left, right, and center
Yet, out of their places

But, it became clear
As the sounds filled the air
The anointed were present
The singers were there!
And they raised their voices
From where they all stood
And they joined in the singing
As best as they could

For them, it mattered not 

If they weren't seen

Their motives were pure; 

There's a difference between

Calming broken spirits 

And giving a show

The singers all learned that 

A long time ago

So I smiled that they all came

So humbly they shared

There was just no denying

The singers were there
