You do the housework- whispered Mary, to Martha Leave the rest to me JM

Music swells and swirls filling air with sweetness Then -silence The rest makes the rest sweeter EJ

The Father speaks gently Reminders of love Sheltering feathers Hope from above EJ

Stay! Steadfast! You're not alone in the fight These arms that grow weary? I hold you quite tight EJ

Sue says, "Rest is a myth" I nod and quietly disagree Rest and I know each other well I like how it's always waiting to show itself It quietly sits beside me every morning And looks at me in wonder when I read Psalms It lingers around winking now and then when he and I read my poems It screams and shouts between eight and nine when we dance in drama class Why can't reset find Sue too? I hate keeping a secret from her T.L.
