There is a story in the Bible
of a man
whose friends remove a roof
to bring their friend to Jesus
they lower him on his mat
above the heads of the people
and drop him at the Healer’s feet.
Today in church
I watched a girl–
no more than 6 years old–
leave
and return during a hymn
carrying a walker
took both hands
pulled up to her chin
legs clanging against the pews
but it got her grandma to
the communion rail
Some say the stories in Scripture
never happened
I say not true
How can they not have happened
when they are still happening?
