A moment of panic
assuaged by the promise
the musing, the utterance
Oh, she’ll come back,
with “Blueberry Stories”
And she will, she told me
in hearing this story, this tale
of four-year-old fears
of losing their Pastor Lori
in the wilds of the Downeast
the wilds of Maine
The departing of the mission trip
only a day away
needing the assurance
of the faithful return
to still the trembling lip
the welling up of her eyes
this morning
