fifteen

F I F T E E N

there’s been a lot of stuff

in not a lot of years

it feels like it’s been a lifetime

it feels like it’s been but a blink

praying for a lot more years

and a little less stuff

and when there be stuff

– because there will always be stuff –

let us find gratitude

let us tighten the cord of three strands

let us lift our eyes heavenward

let us be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave (us)
