PACKING FOR THE JOURNEY—A poem [W, 3-30-22]

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith & Life for the Years of Winter


As I pack for my journey

into the land of beyond

the lists I made so carefully

for journeys past

stand unchecked

 

No extra shirts

No alternate socks

No backup soap

or blocks against the sun

 

Just the faces of babies

laughing,

memories of friends

and adventures

The melodies we hummed

along the way

 

John Robert McFarland
