after a lovely little St. Lucia evening
with our two boys
gathering for the far aways
comes
Sunday morning...
two beautiful words
on their own
the covering of a cold dusting of snow
on the world outside my tree house window
the perfectly longed for addition
to this last Sunday of Advent
this one week before Christmas
but there's even more
there is mass to be celebrated
with our daughter and son in law
at their parish, with their bishop
and then a humble voice
enters in
to my quiet morning moments
our eldest son, far away
comes
unexpectedly to my wondering ears
his presence filling our rooms
just like it always has in the past
this time singing praise to Our God
in his music written for the
New Translation of the Roman Missal
oh to hear
his voice
to imagine him still creating
my heart sings
my spirit soars
the week before Christmas
all thru our house...
all thru our days...
all thru our living...
