Responsive

The familiar response
brought home from the sanctuary
into their room, with the day over
and the light down low
“The word of God for the people of God;
Thanks be to God.”
How wonderful hearing their voices
in unison, in response to the reading
the intoning of the familiar words
I, the leader for the people
at the end of the bedtime story
the lesson tonight
before their slumber

after reading the conversion of Saul,
Acts 22:6-11, becoming Paul
