The Inspiration
I wrote this poem several years ago after attending Christmas Eve services with my brother and his family. (I’d been away from the Church for a while.) The purity of the children’s voices singing in Latin behind me left me so awestruck I was afraid to turn around.

Thank you, Suzanne. That was the childhood I had. My dad was an Episcopal priest.

My father wasn’t a priest but I grew up in the episcopal church as well. There are details in your photograph that look so familiar to me.
