Mi Casa, Su Casa
Posted: May 2, 2010
God meets us where we live…
Come Thursday next we'll pause to pray
in houses beige or brick or gray.
We need not travel to DC
to call upon the Lord.
That limestone temple with its dome
cannot compare to common homes
where by the early light of dawn
we voice "in God we trust."
The White House doesn't matter most.
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
are more at home in family rooms
where families kneel to pray.
The monuments of Washington
impress the tourists, but not one
can call to mind true freedom's price
like Grandma's folded hands.
I see her in her favorite chair.
The TV's off. She's deep in prayer.
The nursing home where she resides
is where Gram moves God's hands.
