TODAY'S MEAL poem
by Richard L. Provencher The church is busy with Christmas cheer, potatoes, peas and gravy a pattern of kindness from them to us from the streets, clothed in sorrow, sheets of plastic to cover our heads, three layers of coats to warm our souls. "Prayer will do that," the pastor intones, "Jesus died to save your sins." All I want is this meal to eat in peace, no strings attached but then as I look around others grunting with satisfaction tummies full , washed down with coffee and biscuits followed by a 'trifle' dessert and I wonder about Jesus as I cover myself in His mansion of peace. Richard L. Provencher 2008 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.
