For an entire 'sandwich generation' of women seeking their 'opportunity' to change the world, here is my poem for you!
NEW SHOES
Learning to live in this new way of being
Of warm hugs-soft touch- is really quite freeing
We tuck back our hair to reveal shell-shaped ears
That act is the seed of new ministry years
We open our hearts, we see with fresh eyes
The heaviness revealed in anothers' sighs
We put on the kettle for coffee or tea
The cutting garden provides a scented posy
Sure hands set the table with genuine care
The ART of communing should never be rare
To give of oneself is a holy fire
Kindled within, God lights the desire
New shoes we don with excitement and pleasure
Knowing each day we lay up more treasure
As we comfort the hurting, God gives us new ways
Less striving, more loving, in these new chapter days
