Second week of Advent: a poem


                                                          Advent

         I used to write
         a poem each year
         at this time, anticipating
         the Savior’s coming, but
         household chores,
         the yard, the holidays––
         I’ve made no time
         for meditation,
         writing, waiting,
.
         I hereby vow
         beginning now
         to take more time
         from this day on,
         to concentrate,
         to celebrate,
         prepare, like Mary,
         for the Blessed Child.
         Lord, help me live
         expectantly today
         and every day
         until the second-coming.
        I must make ready--
       again.
