Miniature Nativity Scene
Once upon a time when school age was
New. I would sit by the others in the pew
Where the children's service was held because
Adult services were not for us and I grew
Really curious about why that was so.
Did the smaller plug-in organ play better
Children's hymns? Was the miniature version a smaller altar ego?
Holier for younger but not older? Let our
Religion be not about size.
I ought not think about it so hard.
Some structures, like sonnets, have rules as guides
To let us know they are part of something bigger by far.
Its ok to break the rules as long as there's reason.
An honest mistake amid brethren and cistern is not treason.
