POEM ONE: SACRED FONT



Eversince a child

I have been fascinated by

The Sacred Font at the Church door;

Of marble it is, so white and

So cool bearing the blessed

Holy water which we

Use to cross ourselves before

Walking to the pew.

The Font always the first we greet

And the last we would see at mass.

Somehow, always I am struck

By a forlorn feeling as

We dab into it for the water

To cross ourselves to leave.

The little Sacred Font

That bids us welcome and goodbye at mass.

The font that seems to hold

Not only water but the presence of God.



POEM TWO: TWO OF A KIND





A surprise gift from the most high

That brought so much cheer

To me and my dear

Till I found out about the real tale

That caring them would entail

A whimper here and a scream there

So often turning my face so pale

One pee now and one pee then

Making the night like a drain

The worst would be when one fell sick

When my heart would turn brick

To make them sleep separate ways

One down here and one up there

One with me and one, my dear

Till the doctor gave his care

The greatest joke was to come

When both were called a damn

Because the teacher could

Not differentiate Dan from Pam
