Prepared

While some of you are enjoying tulips and daffodils and that thing that's called spring, here the snow is blowing over under sideways down. It's barely 30 degrees outside and I refuse to photograph snow one more time this season. Seriously. (Well, unless there's some phenomenal naturally created piece of ice sculpture or the sun is glowing pink on its surface or something like that. LOL)


But in the meantime, I'm turning my mind to other more important matters. Like this...

It's been years in the making -

years of preparation -

for the day this young man 

would take his separation

from family and friends 

and days of youthful playing

to share things of importance -

things that don't bear delaying.

That day has finally come 

and he's ready to serve

with no thought for himself

he'll do it with verve.

His hair has been cut,

the tattoos no more.

They washed down the drain.

He's clean to the core.

The doctor's been seen;

his papers are in.

Now we just wait

'til it's time to begin.

1Corinthians 13:11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
