I went to church and a party broke out.
The still soft breezes began to shout.
We had been gathering as Jesus said
but our shaken faith was nearly dead.
Some doubted but he had always been right
so we met from morning until late night.
Worship is hardly a word you would use.
It was more like we were just filling pews.
Waiting is such a hard thing we must do,
but it pays off if you see it through.
Suddenly some strange things started to move
and in amazement we started to groove.
The sound of big wind storms entered the room
and began blowing out all the dark gloom.
It was like we felt a big load lifting
and our attitude soon was shifting.
Then something like flames from a big fire
filled our hearts and began to inspire
us to do things we still cannot understand
but our excitement began to expand.
Celebration I’ve never seen before
lifted us up as we danced ‘round the floor.
If we had balloons and streamers and such
we would have added a colorful touch
Instead, God used all the words we expressed
and foreigners heard and were very impressed
and listened as Simon Peter explained
and even if long nobody complained.
When you gather on Pentecost I pray
a party breaks out and blows you away
and gives your faith a big affirmation
as you declare your own confirmation.
During your life as you follow your God
may you be free from the worldly façade
and party with love where ever you go
letting God’s spirited love freely blow.

To show that Confirmation is not only liturgy but also inspiration, the one coming only from the first Poet and Creator.
Great poem Larry, a keeper.
