Unbroken Surprise
x
I’d like to offer prayer
Of thanksgiving
For I have received
Good help
I can question how deserving
But I got it, anyway
x
In the moment,
Certain things let go:
Doubt, worth,
Particularity
People give, and I receive
Not that I haven’t helped before
x
But here is the receiving side:
Thankful, relieved
Not burden-free
But bearing less
Than before
x
All this to say thank you
To both sides of prayer
The givers
And this time
The one who has so gladly taken
