Today...I Missed It




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.

I saw the cross swinging from the mirror in her dashboard.
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.
