Late Spring, Nineteen-Ninety-Nine

excitement, joy, hope

anticipating early July

lethargy, fear, hope

enduring late spring

the bodies on the sofa

our overriding concern

every other thing

is sent to back burners

is put on hold

is emphatically

Stopped!

that bodies on the sofa rise

lay, crawl, walk, run

the floors, the lawn

roam this world in joy

rejoice God’s great gift

His most wonderful treasure

Life!
