A Change in the Weather

it snowed yesterday

then there was a tornado

today it's 90 degrees

global warming?

maybe it's an act of God

maybe He's angry!

what if He's sent the rod?

maybe Jesus saves

weathered wanderers

of labyrinths

and quiet caves

all I know

is that tomorrow

I'm bringing

my umbrella

Despite global warming and an angry God, the humble umbrella stands us in good stead, weatherwise. Of course, that Noah episode would try the strongest umbrella, so maybe a handy lifeboat would be in order.

PS: Are you a descendant of The Great John L., who, as I recall, was also from Boston?

Probably... WE came over in 1779, I think... migrated through Virginia, and across the south...

I am named after my father, who is named after his father... I thought my Granddad might be named after the boxer, but I looked it up, he's a Lawrence while we are Leonards. Grab the floaties. Many thanks, JtB
