Tending the flock yields a spiritual reward.
I went to work.
Sue called work because
Eric barfed (vomit).
She needed help.
She needed sleep. YOU
Home I came.
Home I am.
I’m watching Eric sleep AND
…sweat.
In his sleep
He stirs and moans.
The bucket is there
The towel underneath.
I pray.
Not to G-O-D
But to all that is G-O-O-D.
I am sentry to the boy.
I will always be here.
Watching.
Knowing.
Teaching.
Encouraging.
Rooting.
Defending.
Healing.
Loving.
I will always be here.
Baseball awaits…
