a familiar face brushes by-

isthatyou,myfriend? eyes are locked,
and a joyous call-

the rustle of eager footsteps-
beaming faces and a heartfelt hug,
in the midst of multitudes-

tobe reunited again.

such a drama mama i am.
this ode is dedicated to wenqi, whom i
fianlly met in school ^^

now i shall try again.

canwe make thecut?
canwe takeit inourstride?
apprehensive thoughts overwhelm all else-
arewe able?
vulnerable and helpless, we pause.
finding in our hearts the only solution we knew
all long-

and we pray.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your blessings
thank you for the teachers we discipled under
thank you for the friends who make our day brighter
thank you for your counsel for my insecurities
thank you for the your presence, everywhere-
though mostly in church, and
thank you for my church, where i know i will find you.
Oh, Immanuel!

Amen ^^
