Prayer
9/20/15
Since I’ve welcomed you
I have become aware
Of things untended
A cobweb here, there
Paint cracked and peeling
Ceiling tiles stained
From an ages-old
Leak.
Will your room be drafty
Because I haven’t mended
The broken pane?
Will your sleep be sound despite
The squeaks and rattles and creaking boards?
Surely dinner will fill you the same
Even on a chipped plate!
It is a good house
And a good land
But you know that these are not my own.
All that I can claim
Are things untended to;
But will you yet stay?
