I hope I’m there the day your prayers come running giddily
up from behind you like children,
announcing “it’s time, it’s time.”
I hope I get to see how their soft sweet hands take yours,
leading you finally into the Light that you’d sensed but couldn’t fathom-
into the Glow you’d dared to follow without understanding,
into the Brilliance you sacrificed everything else for –
I hope I’m there to dance in delight at yours,
as they finally guide you beyond your wildest dreams,
into God’s Glorious and undeniable plan for your life.
Until that day, I encourage you to keep the faith –
persist in prayer through the darkness,
and know there are angels all around you, beaming with love-
cheering you on,
hidden only as a special blessing,
to deepen your capacity for grace –
it’s all part of the process.
