If

If we could see you then, after the mist
Has dissipated and you are revealed for what you don't present
If we could
We would be blown
Into the next
Phase of ourselves in which we are more like that
And less like dirt.
But you made us from this
And we show it.

If we could pretend that the sky was where you are
And heaven is a place
Then
Then we could see ourselves there.
As it is, trickiness shrouds the possibility
Nay
Certainty that you surround us always everywhere
To praise your name eternally need not be for someday, when we have no other interests that tug on our souls.
It should be for today.
If
If we could see you.

Live so small

Oh we live so small
To see the face you bring
Ring
Show the bell who's boss.
Oh we love so small
He left the coins
With me in charge and what
What will he come back to see
Created in his name!

This is the shame of our name
For he left us with his and we shrouded it
In a bag set in the dark, dusty corner waiting
Waiting for his safe return.
To show off
Our tiny love.
We have kept it hidden so well so secure
That he cannot even tell it is his.

Lord.
Let us love bigger than the Small. Legs and arms and messy hair filled up with the abundance of Grace we cannot
Hold.
Love so big to live inside of.
