'Not Yet'
by Gregory Austin McConnell



Alone at night on bended knee
I asked the Lord for something
That I was certain I must need


But he said no.


And as I walked along today
This prayer that I tend to pray
Replayed itself as hopes I weigh 


But he said no.


And as I sleep and dream most yearning
Of wishes granted and passions burning
My prayer comes back, my need returning


But he says no.


So this thought I ponder with slight regret
That the sun soon rise and make me forget
...Perhaps God's 'no' just means 'not yet'...


And I hope so.
