Not Even the Paralytic’s Bed
We
cannot crawl under our beds and hide
As
much as we might want to disappear into
That
dark, safe world of dust balls and lost toys
And
the chewed-up paper the dog hides there
We
cannot hide under the covers with Bunny
As
in our childhood days; we must instead
Stand
up and guard our children against a world
That
has lost its capability for love
We
must neither crawl nor hide nor fail to love:
“Arise,
let us be going…”
(St. Matthew 9:6 and 26:46)
