PRECIOUS GIFT
I read of a beloved son,
Who, so pleased his father,
In the flight of a dove,
Heaven thus, blessed the world;
In word, deed, in spirit.
Today and tomorrow his love
Stays, as of yesterday.
But;
We must claim this gift,
Let us then unwrap it.

Monday Writes 74



MORE WINE
They had heard about him,
Those days, who hadn't,
Small town talk, everyone knew,
So there he was,
At the wedding party,
And the wine ran out.

Just like nowadays, no different,
With every strike of terrorism,
Every nail of unkindness,
Scourge of misunderstanding,
Sword of greed out of its scabbard
Our wine of hope runs out.

So his mother, a woman - wise and blessed,
She said
Do whatever he tells you
This puzzled them,
However, alarmed, and confused,
They did,
And the wine flowed.

On reflection, perhaps,
We may still drink of that wine,
Of wedding bliss, of joy,
In celebrating another's happiness,
And in turn making ourselves happy.

Hmmm,
Do whatever he tells you
She said
