Coffee Shop Blues

Coffee Shop Blues

A Poem by David Burke
"

Came to me over a cup of Joe

"
I read a chapter in my Bible

I stop and think and wait awhile

Too many people, too many things

Dance around my thoughts with ease

Where am I going? Where have I been?

When do I stop? When do I win?

Is there a hope? Is there a joy?

Is it a ruse? Is it a ploy?

What is this life? Why do I live it?

How much more effort do I need to give it?

When does it stop? Can I be of service?

Is there a reason this makes me so nervous?

Do You receive me? Do You really know?

Do You really follow every place that I go?

What do I do now? What can You see?

Why is this vision only blurry for me?

What is Your name? Wait, that was odd...

Why did I ask that? Your name is God

I'm terribly sorry, the error is mine

I just have so many questions, and I fear not much time

I want to be with You, but I feel so unclean

Would You really want a person like me on Your team?

I suppose that You would, the Gospel says too

Ok God, I surrender to You
