Rushing through muskeg

flatlands

the Moose River

crosses into James Bay

waves roiling in determination

rising above transgressions

forgiving wounds

sullied with ill-tempered

conversation—

To stop undue reasoning with

your kids – instead hug

them and say you love them—

To read the Bible from God’s

Divine Words & guidance

for life’s plan as He

draws you into His arms.
