Bearing Gift One To Another


  Quiet and beautiful is the day,
where reflection adjoins -
with bustling children,-
adorned,- with bright,- happy colors and a sense of thankfulness, glory.

It is a stark reality, that must be approached 
with Family, Community and the support 
of self invited Black Birds and 
"just in the neighborhood"- Blue Jays, 
comic relief streaking squirrels, 
Cats and Dogs on their best behavior,
rolling eyes at each other, like Brother and Sister,
"you can leave it to us, don't be a doubting Thomas,
we have this handled, 
save for a containment twitch of tourettes or an acquisitioned snack." 
It is a big day for them to chaperone and oversee, 
this takes calories.

I witnessed a few quiet moments and reflective genuflective blinks from each in this gallery of motleys, 
they know.
How proud the children are that you confided in them.

And your heart is captured here and until your dying day.
He Is, Risen
