10 A.M.  APPOINTMENT

A high school junior had a     

10 o’clock appointment with God.

She was doing a term paper

on “Images of God.”

She wanted to know if God

had an image God liked.

She was there early - outside

the big door with her list in hand.

She went through her list: fire

water, baby, criminal on a cross.

Mom, dad, grandparent, brother,

sister, friend,  glass of cold water.

Mountain, valley, ocean, river,

outer outer space, inner inner place.

It was now 10:45 - and the door was

still closed and silence was everywhere.

At 11 another appointment arrived and God

opened the door and invited that person in.
