forty days each year, between Ash Wednesday,
and the joy of Easter morn
Lent is a verb, a way of being, of living,
of making different choices,
when temptation comes
We are to choose, as Christ did,
not as Adam, Eve did,
when faced with moral choices
To understand and abide, by the law,
the rule, the orders of the creator,
the loving God, who called us very good
at the end of creation
To do justice, now that we know
the difference between good and evil,
learned on that fateful day
in the beautiful garden
