Confessions of imperfection


Here’s a page from my (Imaginary) Haiku Liturgy for Inadequate Parents, to be read on Sad Sundays:

Temper Temper

Sometimes my dam breaks:
Anger gushes hot, hurtful.
Jesus, forgive me.

Caution: words at large

Let me only speak
Truth and life over soft hearts:
Weigh my ev’ry word

Please please please let it not be so

What if they don’t see
Jesus streaming through the cracks
Of my screwed-up self?
