Today,
At swimming class...
I missed Your nudge.
Oh Father forgive me and gift me with another chance.
I saw her crying...
That mama with the two little ones.
One--
What-some'd-call...
Normal.
The other one with...
Down Syndrome.
Both--
Running ahead as she followed,
Shoulders shaking.
And I'm still not sure why--
But she was crying,
As she pushed out the door of the rec. center,
Pulling down her sun glasses to quickly hide the tears.
But there was a moment of connection before
The shades were lowered.
She rested her head in her hands.
I still had a moment to reach out in--
Love.
And I felt my heart pumping.
And everything in me wanted to run after her...
To offer an embrace.
To offer love-from-another-mama-whose-heart-has-hurt.
But I missed it.
Too busy trying not to offend.
But--
I know it was from You.
That whisper.
Please give me another chance.
To be willing to risk-a-bit,
To touch a heart with
Your love.
If I could go back..
I would run after her...
To follow You.
