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

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
