What Size?
“What size?” I ask
each one as they eagerly reach for the clothing they will wear
to perform the sacred
ordinance.
I am small and new to
this, help me to know what will fit.
Today, sweet child,
you will wear the smallest we have to offer.
But come again.
Return to the House of the Lord again and again.
As you wash away the
sins of our ancestors upon the backs of the twelve oxen
in that holy basin,
you will grow.
You will grow in
wisdom, stature and spirit.
Just as you outgrow
the youthful clothing and all too soon request the adult small, then medium
then large;
Your spirit will require
a larger size to grow.
What size you are
today, is not the size you will be forever.
