Since today is Sunday I am taking the day off. Tomorrow I plan to write about my brother, Louis. But while I am away for the day, I leave you with a light-hearted poem I wrote in 1980.

LOVER OF UNLOVELY

Jesus picked fishermen
and men who planted seeds,
Tax collectors, Pharisees,
And men with every need.

Prostitutes and lepers
He loved them all the same,
Thieves and shady characters
He gave a brand new name.

Why He picked the ones He did
Is more than I can see,
Imagine my surprise when
He even picked me!

Have a great Sunday everyone and I’ll be back tomorrow.
Until then,

Essentially Esther
