preparing
today has been
a day of preparation
baking cookies for
a coffee house concert
tomorrow night
a breakfast casserole
for the church brunch
after our budget meeting
also tomorrow
a third and fourth
revision of my sermon
and practicing
my new advent carol
as much as my hands
would let me after
all the cooking
not everything was
for other days
I should have said
my first move
was to make
some clam chowder
that simmered through
most of the morning
and after tomorrow
was taken care of
it was ready
to feed us as
we called it a day
Peace,
Milton
