"Take the helmet of salvation," Ephesians 6:17a
that old, sweat-stained
baseball cap sitting in
the back of the closet,
the floppy soft hat
which protected you
while fly casting for trout,
and the sun visor worn
while running back and forth
at the baseline of far too
many tennis matches
far too long ago . . .
pass them on to
those little kids who
will treat them as if
they are the golden
helmet of Mambrino
giving them joy and
wonder beyond compare.
