Soft School Lockers

 

"Soft School Lockers"

 

Primary colors hold shoulder straps,

Unicorn’s horn points the way,

Zippered pocket flips secures secrets of youthful mind,

Spiderman’s web protects the contents,

Netted pocket holds water bottle,

Lego colors build the future,

Backpack contents holds creative tools,

Paper of woven threads not touch screen,

Pens with real ink not a stylus,

Glue not chewing gum to hold creative art together,

Soft lockers of the twenty first century,

Contents bless the youthful mind,

While God blesses the youth.

[This belated “Monday” reflection comes from observing school backpacks collected and stuffed with school supplies for the Garfield Elementary school, by Cathedral parishioners; and blessed by Cathedral clergy on Sunday July 25, 2021. And, whose Gospel was another feeding story; enough for ALL.]
