Sometimes

Sometimes the sorrows we have sustained
enable us to share with other sorrowers.

Sometimes the faith we found in dark
and desperate valleys gives us the fortitude
to risk the venture of offering some
to those who find believing difficult.

Sometimes the friendship we demonstrated
in brief encounter blessed us more.

Sometimes the dream improvident, impossible
brought new horizons and a promised land.

Some times—No—all times
God is on the job even when we are not
even when we just can't be bothered to be.

How providential!
