A prayer of Edward...

 

As David of old

I write my psalm

To a tight held fist

Or to an open palm

 

A  door cracked open

to invite me in

A God of mercy

Or one to condemn

 

If we question the answer

Is it faith much less

Or an expectation

Of His love confess

 

In obvious imperfection

We are all ..minus Two

Now the first is not me

And the second not you

 

We are not empty

And we are not so full

As to push from Your table

When we think You are cruel

 

This prose is a prayer

To the God of all "one's"

Individuals you've created

Lost daughter's and son's

 

Bring us all in

And bring me back too

To creation's first charge

Made perfect in You
