Bonus Poem: On Such a Lovely Day


(Please page down for lectionary poems for 6/23/19 and earlier.)
 
On Such a Lovely Day

The fountain in the park
 Provides a graceful spray
  For watching and for listening 
   On such a lovely day.

     The baby on my lap,
      As mesmerized as I,
       Reveals primordial human genes
        As waters pacify. 

          And both of us, entranced,
           Show age can’t take away
            The ties by which we all are bound 
             On such a lovely day. 

               And one day on her lap
                May sit a little one;
                 Through all the generations, love
                   Like water, downhill runs. 

Scott L. Barton
