to be willing clay,
giving over to the master
letting go of control
our will submitting to His
our bodies, our lives to His touch
Willing clay, pliable, giving,
receptive to the push, the pinch,
the molding of the Potter’s hands
to the loving changes,
the corrections, the part
in His time, what He wills
not our own, not our choice
Other than the giving in,
the turning over
the trusting of the Potter
letting our lives be transformed
our path changed
our days reordered
by the hands of the Potter alone
