Last Easter at Massey's

 


The service was really nice today

you were great my husband said

after church on Easter unusual for him

there wasn’t a seat left in the sanctuary

nor in the parking lot according to the usher

who directed traffic.

 

Suzanne’s playing was spectacular I said

so lovely to have a musician who works well with you

it’s a shame Keith said

you are leaving when you are at the top of your game

not really I laughed

remember the tennis players who wait too long

they just become pathetic.

 

It’s true I love to lead worship preach

will miss that for sure

but much of the rest I no longer enjoy

some of it I loathe

cannot stand the thought of another charge conference

or someone expecting me to fix some church problem

as you know I’m having trouble holding my words

not just what I say but how I say it

I reach a point with churches

when I begin to wonder if there is anything

I have done or said

that has made any difference

then it’s time to leave.

 

This time I can leave for good.
