little fella,
in from active
preschool play,
snacks
--(cookies and milk)
panting slows to breathing,
tiny chest feels . . . beating
eyes widen--
awestruck wonder!
mommy, um, mommy, um
when I was, um, drinking milk
Jesus was knocking on my heart!
dropping dreary dishtowel,
I delighted fresh
in him,
in marvelous precocious perspective
