“The seventy returned with joy, saying,”
Luke 10:17a
probably
not today, and
maybe (though not likely)
next week, or
perhaps for even longer
than we care to imagine,
but one day, we will
be together again, in
that kitchen where
you feed us, and
in the living room
where you tell us stories,
and in that yard
where we can play
silly games over and over,
and there in your house
it will be
christmaseasterpentecost
all rolled into one marvelous
reunioncelebrationhomecoming
and even if we dare not sing,
we will raise glad praises
to you in our hearts, in our souls,
in the warm embrace of your love
