Child of God
A young fellow tap-taps
like the beat
of a parading drum
cautious in its march
his cane meanders side to
side along the aisle
fingers as a hummingbird
poking at the shelves,
listens to crinkling
from a spaghetti package
chin uplifted, grinning
like a monkey.
Mom’s proud of her
son, turned ten today and
‘born again’ during
last Sunday’s service.

Beautiful, much preferred
Beautiful, much preferred this to the last one. I wrote a similar piece, (though mine was more of a story) about a proud mother looking on at a disabled child's achievments so this one touched a chord with me. Really liked this.

This is a wonderful short poem, my local church has recently begun to include poems after bible reading every week and everyone is really enjoying it and contributing. I don’t know how many other churches try this though but more should.
