I was let in a guided imagery to picture myself in a church on Christmas Eve but I begin seeing several churches I have serve. I don't normally write free-verse but this is what resulted.
It was in my mind I did what I could never do physically. I spent Christmas Eve In several churches I have served Simultaneously. Joy jumped like a frisky baby lamb As each sanctuary Enclosed me in a warm embrace. People from the last fifty years Smiled as if to bless me As I quietly watched What I’d been too busy To notice During all my years. I saw how the churches And those special people Were different Yet so much alike. And I received more than all I gave And much, much more.

Over the last fifty years Larry they have always embraced you but you were too busy trying to give of yourself to all, now you have the time to notice and accept what they offer.

Newfie hugs, Rose

I sat outside a store and became aware of the flower pots in front the store and I thought how it must feel about the attention given to the flowers.
