The Giraffe Blog – Poems by Virgenal Owens

Be patient with the you
You haven’t met
Even when they don’t exist yet

We rush ourselves to expectation
And completion every season 

Did the infant 
Not develop in womb

Do wounds 
not take time to heal

Is it absurd 
To expect the sun 
To rise on a whim

How then do we always 
Accelerate our lives 
To be something, someone

Who is no more beautiful 
Than what God made
Right now
