A Poem To Sit With
16th Sunday of Ordinary Time C
July 21, 2013


“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part.”
(Gospel)


I give you
life
I place you on
earth
for a very

special reason

but you won’t
find out unless
you ask me what
the reason is

and talking
is so easy

why don’t
you do more
with me?

waste some
time
with me
