2020 Vision

I’d love to have perfect vision
as the year begins anew
If only these glasses on my face
offered an eternal view

Better than perfect eyesight
would be to clearly see
God’s plan and vision
of the future for you and me

But how do I discern
the vision He proclaims
To reckon in 2020
mine and His the same

It won’t come by cherry picking
verses that seem right
But taken out of context
become obtuse and trite

I must see God’s story
from beginning to the end
As a complete record
by the Spirit penned

I may not know the future
in perfect clarity
But take each step before me
in faith, hope, and charity
