Musicals

Thinking this morning of Andrew Lloyd Weber (musicals), Malcolm Guite (sonnets), and me (sermons and poems.) and all of us children.

I wonder

What it must be like

To hear,

To see

Everything

As a musical

Which must be

Staged.

Or perhaps to write

Everything

In sonnet form.

Or perhaps to preach

Everything

As a sermon.

Even perhaps to hold everyone

As a child

To be nurtured

To be held

To be honored.

Ah

There they are:

Musicals

Sonnets

Sermons

Children:

Everything

Everyone

Nurtured

Held
Sung

Honored.
