Dirty diapers.

Messy high chairs.

Sour spit-up on clothes.

Babies need order too.

Clean diapers.

Clean clothes.

Clean high chairs.

Clean babies are happy babies.

Smiling babies.

Cooing babies.

Cuddling babies.

Cuddling babies fill you up.

Fill you with happiness.

Fill you with devotion.

Fill you with love.

I AM MAKING MY BED

When Grandfather and Aunt Cora

breeze through the door,

talking

about details. Wedding talk is details.

… people on the guest list.

… people in the wedding party.

… people the church can comfortably hold.

Even all the way down the hall in

my room, I can hear how Grandfather’s

staid voice has bloated with enthusiasm.

… flowers for the altar.

… flowers for bouquets.

… flowers for centerpieces.

Grandfather discussing flowers?
