Instead help me savor
The delight and joy of small
Things revealing Your gifts
At every turn of eye and heart
Hinting at Your abundance
And renewal even in winter
Where your buds are readied
For some grand surprise
To be revealed in Your time
At just the right time.
In the meantime
Let me savor the process
Not of completion
But of budding at work
By some grace of you in me
For blossoming beauty
Benefitting the world
Bit by bit in small ways
Unseen except by You
Yet bearing up joy in me.
Yes, Love,
Gift me with this
And let it be more
Than enough for today.
