I sit in your presence
Do you know I am here?
Are you here too?
What words could I say?
Which of the many sins have I done?
Keeps me separated from you?
I sit here
Wondering
Hoping
Meditating
Here I am
Nothing to bargain with
No leverage
No deals
Just me
That’s not worth much
Surely there is more you require
I hope
Hoping you see me
I’m taking a number
Waiting in line
Nothing special
Just a man
I don’t have a lofty title
No ministry
It’s just me
One man
Needing you
Only one thing I ask
Hold me?
Let me feel your love
It escapes me today
Put aside your disappointments in me
Pull me close to your heart
If only for a few minutes
I don’t ask for anointing
No miracles or visitations
Just hold me
Your touch is all I need
Isn’t that true for us all?
