I say I'll ...

I say I'll go to the doctor
I say I'll wait until later,
when the appropriate time is here
I say I'll ask about
this and that
and question whether tests
should be done

I say I'll ...
I will

But what about now
What about this moment
this time
God's presence is here
surrounding me

I say He is all sufficient
I say He gives comfort
and is compassionate
I say He guides me
along the way

I say ...
but

I missed
I failed
I didn't recognize

I say I'll go and do ...
but first
I must bow down ...

and pray.
