THE WORD FROM OLD PULPITS [Su, 10-30-22]

 


It is acceptable
allowable
even agreeable
for old preachers
on Sunday mornings
to stand again
in long abandoned pulpits
looking out at faces
yearning for good words
There are few
perhaps only one
the old preachers say
You must decide
if that one word
is enough
or will simply
have to do

John Robert McFarland
