Bliss

By Richard D. Hartwell

Bliss

The warmth of welcome imbues the church --
Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary on Kauai,
Advent Sunday at the “western-most church” --
weddings blessed for anniversary celebration.

An informal Kiss of Peace upon our daughter
after Mass, exiting from sublime to sunshine.
Early morning devotions sanctify our stay.
