Dear God,
Dear Jesus,
Dear Holy Spirit –
I have a sense of You:
One and Three,
but sometimes more Two,
or None-of-the-Above.
How to explain it?
I use a construction
invented by others:
Creator
Redeemer
Sustainer
I hope it suffices.
I seek time to wonder,
to ponder,
but my own roles
complicate things.
Wife
Mother
Pastor
Writer
Friend
Dreamer
Dog-lover
Knitter
Baseball Fan
Each has its modes,
its complications,
its subordinate clauses.
Dear God,
Dear Jesus,
Dear Holy Spirit –
You are
Creator
Parent
Maker
Originator
Generator
Designer
Redeemer
Savior
Shepherd
Lamb
Teacher
Friend
Sustainer
Wind
Fire
Inspirer
Instigator
Provocateur
Dear God,
Dear Jesus,
Dear Holy Spirit –
Help me say things
that communicate You,
all Three, yet One. Amen.
Yes! Amen.
