sometimes
we're the parent
sitting by the window,
our hearts longing for a glimpse
of the child who walked away;
sometimes
we're the kid on the porch
hesitant to ring the bell, not
sure if the door will be flung open
or slammed in our face;
sometimes
we're the perfect child
who has always done
everything expected, but
left wondering was it worth it;
but in all such moments, we
find ourselves swept up
in God's embracing grace.
