Lord,

Yesterday,
for the first time in months,
I got to cycle past the Two Balls
that straddle the West Link.

As I approached these massive spheres
I felt a question begin to surface
in my mind
and I sensed you laughing,
calling out in a sing-song voice,
“Claire, I know
what you’re going to ask!”
I laughed and you continued,
“And the answer’s “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

I cycled on, delighted
at your joyful response
to my unspoken question
which had been,
“Lord,
is it possible for me
to not only sing without fear,
but to actually enjoy doing it?”

Lord,
you are just brimming over
with possibilities!
