A Sunday Afternoon Poem

"Untitled" with preamble by Ingrid Goff-Maidoff

I wrote a poem this morning, mailed it to my email newsletter list... and it's already arrived on facebook before me... I feel so slow, so barefoot and backwards when it comes to technology...

What do I know of joy ~
except it is a word that I have savored?
A word so much like God,
full of promise and tender relating.

What do I know of Joy,
except it is a gift that I have opened
to find the forgiveness, wonder and welcome
that breathe life into my life?
