ASSUMPTION


The ocean did what it does every day:
in and out, waves every 7 to 10 seconds,
heading for the beaches – but today –
here on the Jersey Shore – August 15 –
I prayed a prayer and an appeal to Mary:
“It’s your feast, Mary, the feast of your
holy Assumption, and the tradition is
that you grant blessings at the waters
on this day, so today how about many 
a healing for those who need a healing,
and strength for those caring for them."
