I- The Visit
Yes, I remember the garage door was open that day
I don’t know why
He walked in
It’s odd
I don’t have a sense of smell
Never have
Flavors in a lifesaver pack all
Taste the same to me
I don’t know what
A bakery smells like
But, on that day my nose
Awakened for a few short minutes
The air changed as He
Walked into my home
It became full
With a fragrant and soft breeze
With colors like specs in the air
Fascination
Looking inward I awakened to the most
Heavenly and beautiful aroma
I lost sense of where I was
Who I was
What was happening
It was all an inward flash of amazement…
He had blond hair and was about three
Just beautiful
He must have climbed up the steps in my garage
To the door which opens in my
Family room
I did not see him enter
As soon as I saw him quickly
He was gone
I didn’t see him leave
I looked out the garage door to find him with his Mother
Yes, I believe it was Blessed Mother Mary
They were already half-way down the drive
Both smiling and waving goodbye
I love you, baby Jesus- I thought
I was dumbfounded
II- The Phone Call
Yes, he did call me about a year and a half ago
He said one thing to me
I’ll never forget
It’s definitely our turn
He spoke in a slow and loving-quiet voice
It was mature for a child’s voice
Just beautiful
Our cosmic game was getting brutal
I put it all on myself
It was taking a toll on me
I was so relieved to hear that we
Would finally make some headway
Complete faith that we would win
But the game is grueling
Full of confusion and mental stewing…
Self-destruction
Many tears
So glad he called
I took a deep breath of relief
He hung up before I could speak
No caller ID on this exchange
I love you, baby Jesus- I thought
I was dumbfounded
