In reply to the discussion: Missouri 'Right to pray' amendment passes easily [View all]BadgerKid
(4,551 posts)33. It always reminds me of this poem.
Some keep the Sabbath going to Church
I keep it, staying at Home
With a Bobolink for a Chorister
And an Orchard, for a Dome
Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice
I, just wear my Wings
And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton sings.
God preaches, a noted Clergyman
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at last
Im going, all along.
-- Emily Dickinson
