SUNDAY MORNING MEMORIES poem {Sun, 6-23-24}

BEYOND WINTER: The Irrelevant Musings of an Old Man—SUNDAY MORNING MEMORIES poem {Sun, 6-23-24}



SUNDAY MORNING MEMORIES

Sunday morning memories

are a random jumble

 

Joys of hearts melded into one

Regrets of chances lost

Hymns and prayers and verses

Speaking of the words

Processions and stumbles

Upturned faces

 

Each memory eager

for its chance

to take the spotlight

before they all

are lost in the final darkness

of the closing of the sabbath

 

John Robert McFarland

The photo is of Forsythe Methodist, my home church, outside of Oakland City, Indiana. The gravestone of my parents is in the foreground. I got the photo off the web; I do not know who took the photo.
