Changing the Shades of Gray

In colors and in gradations
changing the shades of gray
letting go of the black and white
the need to find the best balance
of the callings that I feel

A range of gifts, of talents
all the things I do well
each valid, each from God
the giver of all

Needing to rethink
to be open to each one
finding the best way to be me
messy and unique
in this peace, happiness
answering my call from God

on the multi-faceted roles,
personae that I have,
as poet, attorney, Christian,
husband, son, father, neighbor,
friend, etc.
