MONOLOGUES

 

It hit me that I never ever

had a monologue with my dad –

nor with my mom. Sorry mom

and dad. I’ve seen and heard

monologues in the movies.

 

Life!

 

I guess I had a few in sermons.

Oooops! I preached 1000 times –

wait a few thousand times – but

they lacked heart and soul – too,

many times. Yes. So, so sorry.

 

Death!

 

Well, now that I’ve had my two

heart repairs – now that I pondered

death in a few hospital rooms –

now that I’m 82 years of age – maybe

now I’ll finally preach some monologues.

 

Resurrection.
