What If?


By Marcia K. Leaser

                    We come to You, Lord,

                        with our little crooked sticks.

                            Begging You to straighten them.

                    Broken lives, broken promises

                         all lie at Your feet,

                             expecting Your mercy and grace

          But

                                              What if?

          You want us to accept

              our crooked pieces of wood,

                  and learn to lean on You?

                                    What if?

          You want us

              to live through a crisis,

                  or an unfulfilled dream?

          Some call it unanswered prayer,

  But -

                                    What if?   

          through this,

              we find acceptance,

                  tolerance and strength?

          Dare we call it unanswered?

          Dare we even ask What if?
