GOD

Dammed-if-You-do,

dammed-if-You-don’t.

Do those words echo from

earth into the Trinity - each day?

Jack is praying for rain and Jill is

praying for sunshine today in Peoria.

God, take mom, she’s suffered enough.
God, leave mom, for another day, we pray.

And won’t we be surprised 
to meet in heaven so and so 

whom we asked God to damn a dozen

times when we were on earth?
