Bevin, a friend from Georgia whom I’ve never officially met, sent this lovely poem to me through Facebook.  Thanks, Bevin!

What I didn’t know, until I did a little research, is that John Updike won “Best in Show” in a church writing contest with it, when he was a Harvard graduate attending Clifton Lutheran Church in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and he said later that it was during his “angst-besmogged period.”

Since I cannot print the poem in its entirety here, I’m sending you to another web page.  Please click here to read the entire poem.

And whatever your holiday has been this week (Passover, Easter, spring…), have a splendid day.
