Connections

I do not conjure up dates and times on my own.
But somehow, I will think,
“I should check the score”
And it happens to be the final eight seconds when the team wins.

Or I will think,
“Was this around the time that a CD was released?”
And I will go back to find that, yes,
My future friend did release a CD on this date, and I was there.

Or I will think,
“What was I doing a week ago this week?”
And the calendar will show the visitors who came,
And so I remember an anniversary or a trauma.

I think God makes these connections for me,
As a way to remind me that I am connected with my community.
