Second Sunday of Advent


“Let me sing for my beloved
   my love-song concerning
      his vineyard.”  Isaiah 5:1a

sometimes
your songs of love are
hammers building
   hope in empty lots,
peanut butter and jelly
being spread for sandwiches
   for park bench sleepers,
excited barks of shelter dogs
   playing with their forever family,
wrapping paper being ripped
off toys, games, and clothes
   by kids who believed
   no one cared about them.
