Three pair of geese and their comical children
(five, seven, and eleven goslings)
cross the road in front of me,
my truck idling, my camera clicking.
What highways will we cross today?
Bump, jostle, push and prod us, Lord,
so that, safe and together,
we may reach the welcoming waters
where we belong.
