All Saints Day, San Antonio, TX 2006
For all the saints It's a nice catch all, is All Saint's Day,
a place not only for the saints you know
but the ones who've evaded sanctification.Like Elsie, who lived and died without notice
and never said a bad word about anyone
not even the milkman who cheated weekly on her bill.Like Albert, who smiled through life, bringing
a spark of joy to everyone he met, even
those who said he was simple minded.Simple minds, simple saints, not recorded,
neither arrow-riven nor crucified, but saintly even so,
and welcomed in heaven for all that.
