With No Regret
Impatiently she waits; anxious and as usual
begging God to intervene with a phone call,
an invitation, she was unwilling to wait for.
Her prayers were in earnest - full of promises.
God is a good judge, He exposes falsehood
and He said no, a clear no. This is a trap,
You are deceiving yourself;
you are being deceived.
But she longed for true love
and a trusted colleague showed her some.
She knew she lived among imposters
who thrived on fraud and lies.
Refusing to face facts.
she made that phone call herself.
When a too-familiar voice answered,
she dropped the phone in disbelief.
It was an even clearer answer to her prayer
and she moved on.
Reader, be warned by deep scars - deceit.
If you must fight to have your own way,
pause on occasion to consider,
what do I want to know?
