Ordinary Time
Daylight fills up the
dark
New hope begins to
creep
Creator God makes a
mark
Faith into choice
does seep
‘Tis just “another
day” one says
“Ah life has brought
us newness”
Headgear a baseball
cap or fez
Context determines
life’s trueness
Christ Jesus walks
along our path
He notes the passing
minutes each
Twinkling eyes,
gentle smile, seldom wrath
Honest needs come
within reach
Spirit accompanies
each lung’s breath
Sustaining life’s
force beat by beat
Lifting choice each
step right or left
Chores mundane or
party’s treat
1,440 minutes bring
us a day full
168 hours bring a
week to the brim
A flash of lightning
inspiration’s pull
Shifting winds ask
sails to trim
Seldom does a day
leave no mark
Most often Spirit
leads us to serve
Open hearts, willing
hands light the dark
Drive ever ready for
life’s curve
Mindfully walk
through this day’s gift
Prayerfully accompany
the choice of now
Willingly bend
effort, day’s wheat to sift
Hopefully be ready,
today’s field to plow.
The Rev. Ronald Allen Melver, M.Div.
