Ponderings of Grace - First Sunday of Advent 2012

 

December 2

Who can wait?
The one who has learned to stand in line
for the food her family needs to
live on.

She knows.

The one who has learned
to stand on the corner
for time to pass by.
He has no job and probably
never will.

He knows.

Why must they wait?
When will there be a time when she will
shop in peace and he
will use his mind
for peace?
