The Perfect Sunday

A day filled with adventures

As varied as the fish in the sea

Some of them quite ordinary

While others were impossible to believe  

One of our amazingly wise church buddies

Set the mood as he shared his beliefs

Author of a brand-new and exciting book

About the journey that many of us seek   

He gave us food for thought

As he raced through chapter after chapter

Giving us his thoughts and opinions

About our lives and what really matters  

With our minds filled with his truthful words

We took to our weekly chairs

Waiting with anticipation

About what our guest speaker had to share  

Taking an imaginary hike in the Himalayas

That challenged our civilized mind

Shared by a wandering monk

At exactly the perfect place and time  

His obstacles were many and harrowing

Almost impossible to believe

As well as the miracles that saved him

Which were beyond anything we could conceive  

A time we shared with our Spiritual friends

Who we adore in so many ways

Always looking forward to these Sundays

And that space where we can pray  

So many things to be grateful for

Not to mention the remainder of the day’s waking hours

So much food-for-thought in our mind

Which is ours to savor and devour  

Perhaps there are those who find it mundane

And that is most certainly okay

However somewhere deep in my soul

It just felt like one of those perfect days
