That’s You.
Good and kind.
No matter
The changing
circumstances.
That’s all weather.
You are the sky,
as someone wise
once said.
Good and kind.
Planning
a wedding,
planning anything,
during a pandemic
is like chasing
the weather.
It is demanding
from us a
flexibility,
a grisly acceptance,
and release, so much release,
when all we desire is
stability and control.
It’s challenging us
to find the sky,
beyond the storm.
To remember
that we can’t gather the wind
in our fists.
So why are we trying?
No matter
the weather,
No matter
The circumstances,
You are good and kind.
This we can bank on.
This is our promise.
And if we believe it,
trust in Who You are
with all our hearts,
Than the uncertainty,
The disappointment
and waiting
are just passing clouds.
Tomorrow will be another story.
Even our best predictions
may all fall flat.
But I can sing
in the blooming
forest
of the goodness of
My God
and feel His calm
wash away
every nagging question
till there is only
a great, large
never-changing, always faithful,
arch of blessed blue
stretching over us
and I know
no matter what,
that our God is good and kind.
