WE'RE BLOGGIN' AGAIN!
Well whoop-de-doo we're blogging again. Sorry for the outage, but blogger.com has had some major probs but apparently ironed them all out. Now where were we? I composed a short poem this morning, first thing, but was unable to share it with y'all. It sort of composed itself in my head...

The Body

The body
Lying there
In repose
That birthed five children
Is Mother

The body
Not dead
Yet not quite alive either
As the spirit is still present
In her

The body
Is a house
Not a home
Since we rent it for years
Until it falls apart
For need of repair

The body
Betrays the spirit
And grows weaker
While the heart grows stronger
Over time

The body
Lying in repose,
It’s state in wait
For that last exchange of air
And transaction of promise
With God.
