. . . two sons . . .

. . . two blurry boys . . .

. . . did two really nice things today . . .

. . . one was trivial . . .

. . . yet very much needed . . .

. . . because i cannot carry 

this tree myself . . .

. . . the other, more important

act of service 

was serious, sacred 

and also very much needed . . .

. . . i'm grateful 

{in both cases} 

that drew and chris 

were ready and willing 

to serve . . .
