First New Church Visit
Dedicated to Kyle, My Darling Son
During my first time attendance
at a church large and splendid,
I clutched my toddler child
who clutched his action figure.
Without so much as a whisper
when the service began,
my son quietly played
with his small plastic man.
As the minister shared his sermon,
my little man began squirming.
I put him on my lap, feeling certain,
his behavior would not worsen.
Returning to the minister’s words,
it was but an end fragment I heard,
“… most powerful force known to man???”
Suddenly, my son chair-stood straight with action figure
raised to extremely loud state, "BATMAN."
