A Poem for Advent


Advent

Wait for the Lord
         Whose Day is Near

Children’s Pageants
Children’s Presents
Parking and stuff
Parties and stuff

Stuffing wrapping stuffing wrapping
Stuffing wrapping stuffing wrapping

Wait for the Lord
         Whose Day is Near

Time off—Question Mark
Time off—Period
Time off—Exclamation point
Time off—Worried face
Travel Travel, Travel Travel
Travel, Travel Travel Travel

Wait for the Lord
         Whose Day is Near

What to buy her
How to woo her
Meet the Boss
Meet the Family
Eat, small talk, Eat Eat
Eat, small talk, Eat Eat

Wait for the Lord
         Whose Day is Near
Wait for the Lord
         Be strong, take heart
