I saw Delight today
And joy.
They were in a diner with a couple of kids.
The kids were arguing over who got to hold the menu
And delight reached her arms around one child
And kissed him on the top of his head.
Joy got the attention of the other
And helped her look at the pictures of the ice cream sundaes
And discussed quite seriously, the difference
Between caramel and butterscotch.
The two had Peace among them
Congregational care in the little booth
And a moment of the fleeting holiness
Where sanctity is ice cream
And beauty is sipped
Through a plastic straw.
