A Row of Missals on the Chimneypiece
Those inexpensive missals,
all in a row
Upon the chimneypiece of
their little home
Each with its ribbons in
orderly place
Like children in line for the
Eucharist
I envied my friend for his family’s
faith
The daily liturgies of a
Catholic home
Rhythms and usages giving
order to life -
They are all gone now, dead or
dispersed
And in a garage sale some
fifty years on
I found his missal, ribbons
still in place
