The woman, now in blue

I watch the woman, now in blue, across the way.  She is kin to me.
Thank you, May, for the invitation to join the KNOW group at church.

The woman
Now in blue
Has massed the ducks.
Her offering of corn
Is stored in the garage.
She moves more slowly
This year.
I was invited to join
The senior women*s group at church
Yesterday.
It is a supreme compliment.
Maybe soon
I will mass the ducks
Like the woman
Now in blue
Across the way.
Maybe soon
I will gather up the cardinals,
The squirrels
Like maybe St. Francis did
When he got older,
Beckoned the animals
To come to him.
I*m sure his garage was full of corn
Like the woman
Now in blue.
