Half-time priest

I am now receiving my pension. They have some understanding that the years I have put in as a priest are full-time years, no matter what I was paid. I am grateful.

There is no such thing
As a half-time priest.
She may be paid
Half-time,
Spend
The another half
Holding hands
With parishioners
In the hospital.
There is no such thing
As a half-time priest.
Hours never count
The same
From place to place
Time to time,
Behind the altar
Or under.
