Writing to God

Coveted Words

Lord, I’m afraid that at judgment,

instead of saying, “Well done,
good and faithful servant,” You’ll say,
“Half done somewhat good

and semi-faithful servant.”

I think of my unfinished projects.
Changing directions midcourse.

My failures as a spouse and parent.

God, please show me what it is

I’m supposed to be doing well.

And, please, help me be more dependable.
