“Enjoy that boy of yours on his special day.”
These words penetrated.
After strawberry shortcake for breakfast,
I made the wished-for cake,
A unique but described creation
Of chocolate, with a square of cream cheese frosting in the middle.
Then I left for a time of worship and teaching and prayer
And knew that the evening would have a party,
Not a birthday party but a larger friend party.
As I worshipped, I asked God if I should go home,
If I was neglecting my duties as a good mother,
If I needed to turn my heart towards home.
And the answer I think I got was that I was in the right place at that time,
But that spending time with my sons will increase in priority.
