Supply Kit

Supply Kit
for Sarah Jill

Here is a net, to catch the lies 
that are falling from their lips
Here is a snorkel, so you can see icebergs
when they just see the tips

Here are my boots,
to kick the means boys in the shins
And here are the keys
so you'll never be locked in

Here's a strong cup of coffee
to cure most anything that ails you
And my heart. As a spare.
In case yours ever fails you

And last -but not least- here is your anchor
that brilliant redemption, all weighty with love
Will hold you unchanging and true 'neath the surface
whether tempest or stillness or sunshine above
