Poems

Stay present

By Lorraine Jennings

From the October 2012 issue of The Christian Science Journal

If life seems
to push and pull,
rush me fast away

Interrupting and distracting,
planning, fretting,
timing, tracking

Then whom do I obey?
What’s my stand this day?

God is straight before me.
God is all about me.

God is right this moment.
I pray
I learn to . . .
stay.
