Ecce Sacerdos: Apologia Pro Vita Sua The cat on my lap is ready to nap The tea in my cup has gotten quite cold Life once exploded with dazzle and snap But all that sort of thing (not I) got old Before I die I must yet one more book Make of what I have learned that I might look Less foolish than I once appeared somehow Before I came to know what I know now All learned the hard way and in God's good time Perfectionistic meter rhythm rhyme And all the mystery of liturgy Which (just between us) is the key to me Formalist poet if not last then least Ecce sacerdos: I give you the priest Living the riddle of celibacy And not by vow but just by now my way The one I loved left me yet far away The sun ascends to smile another day +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

Why he left, I shall never know why. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. I am a bisexual if no one has figured that out yet. Take care. Cordially, Becca P Lang in Big D, Texas
