When it doesn*t happen

I think this is worth considering.

When it doesn*t happen,
How will we sit with those
Who waited,
Full in expectation
Of the end?
Bags packed.
Cars given away.
Bank accounts cleared.

When it doesn*t happen,
How will we join with them,
Not leave them behind?

When it doesn*t happen,
How will we rapture them back
Among the living,
Among the not so certain,
Not so sure,
Those of us who continue to wait,
Will continue to wait?

How will we greet them
When it doesn*t happen
Tomorrow?

How will we extend our hands?
