There’s always that one kid

who needs a little more love

who knows the circumstances

who knows the situation

only our Father above

meditating on Psalm 127:3

with an adopted heart

eyes to see through His

hearing “slow down” through a whisper

at last, a gift

would our tasks be replaced

would interruptible become who we are

so the next time they need

relief would be found in our arms

finally at peace

because there’s always that one kid

who needs a little more love.

love always,

P
