Our vocations

 

I think my vocation is sacred
I keep seeing visions of God
He's like a bright light
Exceedingly right
Does anything seem to be odd?

I have a calling to follow
I just do not know the details
I pray and I wait
By yonder lychgate
Do vocations ever get into the Sales?

I would like it if I could buy one
I'll give you all the money I've saved
Sell my idea?
My dear,no fear!
Just consider how well I've behaved.

Everyone has a vocation
To be who they know that they are.
Yet I am not me
Without you to be
Here in my arms by the fire.

I'll get an answer tomorrow
As I dream of God during the night
She will give me an image
And the much needed courage
To go on till I see the Light.

The problem is one of translation,
For God speaks in symbols not words
Symbols are wells
in which truth dwells.
And the Spirit swoops down like a bird.

Why not find your vocation?
It's possible whatever your age.
Attend to your dreams
and how your life seems
Vocations are now all the rage.
