Sometimes,
I wonder why I'm late
By a little or a lot
or one verses the other
Why routine
takes longer one day
than ever before
I know, that at times
poor planning and procrastination
bring about my tardiness
But why
Why am I late
Some days and not others
What would happen
on those tardi days
if I were on time, not late
Would I simply be on time,
nothing more..?
Or is there more
Those days when I am late
could it be, by devine plan
stopping something bad
by a mear few minutes
could I be avoiding tragedy?
A car wreck perhaps..
Or, could it be, by being late
I'm avoiding a chance meeting
that could change my life
for better or worse
out of sync
with God's devine plan
If so, Why?
Am I destined for more?
Do I have a purpose
I haven't yet fulfilled?
Will I make a mark in time?
or in someone's life?
I like that answer
that it's all part of a plan
A plan that isn't mine or yours
It means I'm late with purpose.
Everything happens for a reason
Rather we understand or not.
