Uncommon Church Visit



Never before been here

But today it just clicks

Been having much trouble

And I hope Church might fix.

Tried it online before.

But community is lost.

Sitting in jammies

And having some toast.





Folks at the door

All smile, shaking

Hands too.

Seems like assembly

Line, pushing on through.





Shown to a middling bench.

Old Lady there.

Eyes seem all sparkling.

In Jesus’ care.

She catches name

Right quick.

Goes back to prayer.

Can’t hear the words

Uplifted; Heaven met there.





Seems like a proper place

Doffing my Load.

Comfort and confidence

Coming from God.



Folks are all fallible.

What’s new with that?

Some honest searching, yes

Uplift and chat.
