I learned new language when I spent time with evangelical friends and colleagues. A Word was spoken in capital letters. It is way more important than mere advice. A Word is something which comes from deeper places and simply begs to be chewed upon.
May I have a Word?
She asked
At the end of the session.
I knew advice
Was not what she asked for
Rather
Like the beef jerky
My daughter and I got
Our beloved for Christmas:
Six months of jerky
One shipment at a time.
May I have a Word?
She asked.
She meant for it
To be chewed upon
Prayed with
Thought through
Perhaps placed
On the refrigerator
For contemplation every time
The door was opened.
