‘Can You Write Me a Pass’
Today a student hung in the entryway
I leave it propped wide for this purpose
Just in case they need to step inside
Or decide the open door
Is what they were looking for
This student said he wanted to ask for help
But didn’t know how to phrase it
I said how about you just ask
And we see what happens?
Then we talked for two hours and I think
I grazed the surface and maybe
Helped in the places I knew how —
But how to explain how this morning
I prayed to J to walk with me
And he appeared right there in the doorframe
A transparently answered prayer
