Young Carpenter’s Day. Nazareth.
Father sends me to
Deliver Miriam's table
To her house, Bedside.
Over sixty five.
Pleasant, loves to talk.
Pretty much shut-in
And seated.
Dad stated that price.
Won't be any problem with her.
How miserable when a customer
Gripes about price, quality.
I WILL NOT argue or quibble.
Unfounded but haggling.
I have watched Dad in that.
How he struggles in conflict.
My Dad is meek.
But also brave and
Self-mastered.
Firm, capable with those hands.
But now.
Before I leave.
Sweep up all of those
Shavings and chips.
Will make for a glorious
Evening fire. Mother loves those.
So do I.
