A Mother's Vocation

I don't know how
God feels
about the subject

but little Andy's mother
has already
called him
to a priestly vocation

I remember
when he was
only four
she made him
a monk's habit
from an old bathrobe

and tied it
around his waist
with drapery cord

She was so proud
"Look at him
A perfect little
Thomas Merton
Anyone can see it"
