On Heaven's Door

My petite fingers folded, then reached—

‎my knuckles whispering ko… ko… ko

‎against Heaven’s door.

‎Gently.

‎Reverently.

‎And I waited—obedient,

‎grinning with excitement, yet impatient—

‎for a response.

‎But there was none.

‎Still, I waited,

‎the way I knew how.

‎Then I thought,

‎Did You not say

‎to those who knock,

‎the door shall be opened?

‎What about me?

‎So I knocked again.

‎Harder.

‎Faster.

‎Yet patiently.

‎Maybe this time

‎an angel would hear

‎the painful whispers

‎of my knuckles on Heaven’s door.

‎I knocked once more—

‎faster, then harder—

‎perhaps God would notice

‎the chaos of my hope

‎banging against Heaven’s door.

‎Still—

‎no response.

‎So I gave in to despair,

‎clothed in waiting.

‎I gave in to despair,

‎adorned in trust.

‎This much I had forgotten:

‎a Father so close to His daughter 

‎her whispers,

‎He can hear.
