Divine Intervention
Can't tie shoes. Can't read aloud. Can't memorize Latin.
IQ test. Panic. Shyness. Confidence goes missing.
"Ask, and you will receive." A corner turned.
College, city planner, romance, graduation.
Paradise lost. War drums. "You are ordered to report."
Many rockets fired, explosions all around.
"Grab your guns. Prepare for the invasion."
Terror and dread, the overwhelming emotions.
"Ask, and you will receive." Deliverance!
Cheers on homeward flight abound.
A terrible war left behind.
Civilian life. Lost and bewildered.
"Will I get a job? Will I fit in?"
"Ask, and you will receive." It all comes together.
Grad school, true love and a career.
Wedding bells, children, grandchildren. Blessings astound.
Retirement: activities, sports, travel. All a pure delight.
But time speeds up. No, we slow down. Sunset and aging.
Microsoft 7, 10 and 11. Ever more complicated.
Accounts, passwords. Far too many Applications.
Masks, shots and Covid-19. The spreading contagion.
Patient portals. Lab tests. Hospitalizations.
Can't keep up. There's no time. Difficulty remembering.
Anger. Self-doubt. Far too many frustrations.
"Ask, and you will receive." Rescued again.
True love comforts. Eternal Love sustains.
The Bible, Matthew, Ch. 7, Vs. 7-11
