Show Me

I have pleaded my willingness

many times before, so it seems dubious

to hear myself say no — now I’m serious,

as if at all those other times I wasn’t

Still I’m asking once again —

I really need to understand

the Valley of Bones,

“it shall be well”

I’ve said the words but thought the facts were final —

that what has died is fully dead and gone,

but here I am, daughter of man,

and I say “Lord, thou knowest” —

show me where to look to see Your truth.
