First Tuesday of Advent

 "Therefore I intend to keep on reminding you of these things . . ."  2nd Peter 1:12

when we forget the names
of our best friends, you look
at the palms of your hands
where they are engraved, so
you can whisper them to us.
as we struggle in the 
misty past hoping to find
our way back to today,
you gently hold our hand
so we know we are 
heading in the right direction.
should the day come when
we start repeating ourselves,
saying the same things and
asking the same questions
over and over, 
may we hear your gentle 
voice reminding us that
you are with us.
