This Crown of Life

It is here that we help,
sometimes in piddling ways,
often trifling and external;
we help by being beside.
In fellowship, we work.
In families, in singles,
together,
we hold each other in well-being.
The whole gamut of care,
we encourage,
we help,
we hug and hold, and we listen.
We lift these ones up,
and up.

About Tom Bolton

I'm a Husband and Dad, a former Enterprise Systems Manager at the City of Milwaukee, and a Disciple and Lay Servant at First United Methodist of West Allis. As I study the Bible, sometimes I feel moved to work through my understanding by writing poetry. I also am continuing to learn in my dialysis experience and pursuit of a kidney transplant. Sometimes I just feel like writing about something that grabs my attention too.
