Our Worship Dilema

We went to Worship Christ this morning, and I shall not besmirch But I felt like a Catholic, in a Baptist Church I'll tell you all a story, I'll do the best I can To explain the prior stanza, to help you understand You see we're Episcopalians, of the Highest Rite The highest in the Episcopal Church, that's maybe why I'm so uptight We're used to a large Procession, many times I'd take the lead But what we saw this morning, was much less than we need We need to feel the presence of, Our Lord, Our Christ, Our King For some it may not matter, for us, a necessary thing We need to hear the Sacristy Bell, as the Ministers come in As well as the Bells of Sanctus, when the Eucharist begins I need to wear my Vestments, and lead the Laity That's what I have been trained to do, what my Lord asks of me We need more than one Acolyte, for the assistance of the Priests At our old Church we had seven, four at the very least Our new Church is quite friendly, welcomed us with open arms Maybe we can assist them, with our subtle charms It's hard when you're outsiders, to make a drastic change God asks us for our patience, He'll see what He can arrange We truly hope this piece does not offend anyone.... When I am frustrated I write...God Bless Taz

Superb write babe about the frustrations that go with starting in a new church 1650 miles away from our "home" church. We must think of the positive though and maybe this is why we are here...to help them get out of their rut...and to broaden their horizons...it will get better with God's help. We are here for a reason!! I love you! Hugs~Mary

Very understandable.I really like this one.As far as am I going somewhere,Most of the poems I write I consider is going to be my last. I just try to put my final feelings into them.I have a very steep hill by my house that I drive alot.I ALWAYS look at one certain spot that I know would do the job if I drove off of it.Then it would look like an accident and maybe easier for my loved one's instead of making it look obviuos.thank you for your kind comments.
