The Sanctuary

Did you come to church,
The people said.
Did you join us there
for wine and bread.
No, I didn’t was my reply.
Instead I watched a cloud pass by.

And (He) shed a tear for all to see.

This piece was written by my mom- Author Susan Adair Lupold. There was originally more to the poem. She wrote it as a teenager and could not recall it in its entirety by the time she shared it with me in 2013.
