Great Spirit
Today I faced doubt, faltered in my strength and wondered
where you were. After excusing myself and washing my face
I entered the lobby and a woman said seen, you here for several weeks
but today you look like you need a hug, She hugged me right then,
I thanked her and she said no thank you,
reminding me that it was I who hugged her the day
she sat alone crying, after her husband's test results.
Strange I didn't recognize her but then
she had lost a lot of weight and she had cut her hair.
I remembered her and the prayer we had shared that day,
today we both resaid the prayer hoping for our miracle, only
then Great Spirit did I know you were there, and my doubt
vanished. Today I thank you for blessings unseen and forgotten.
