THOUGHTS

Maybe we're all just guessing

And nobody really knows 

Maybe we're all just stressing 

And not sure how anything goes

Maybe we're all just messing about 

And don't see we're wasting time

Maybe our no's and our yessing 

Aren't worth a thin dime 

What if we all just stopped 

And decided that we would be 

Patient, honest, and careful 

Admitting deficiencies

When we don't know, just say it

And when we've reached our end

Say we need help, and receive it

Not break when we're supposed to bend

Not feel anxious when there's nothing to fear 

Not speak when there's no need to defend

Not rush there when it's more healing here

Not hurt when there's a hand we could lend

Sometimes you just want to go mute

Find a safe corner and just sit still

Clear your mind of all that's inside swirling

And surrender it all to the will

Of one who's been waiting and watching

But not one leave you alone 

But just waiting for an invitation

To grant joy and peace you've seldom known
