The Living Cross
by Richard L. Provencher

Speed is of essence and
those in a rush are often in
a hurry

to do the simplest of chores
amid the scrape of Sunday
morning
notwithstanding the blizzard
of weather outside my frosted window

prepare for days journey
with shower---shave
dressed with the glitz of adornment

a shirt your wife bought
the socks from a Christmas party
tie for a birthday
oh oh forgot to brush teeth
eat first

now Bible under arm
off to church
Jesus is watching
He is the sum of our daily smiles.

2012 Richard L. Provencher

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
