LITURGY OF THE HOURS

THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS

The prayers
of the day

The Divine Office

Sufficient
as all things
unto the day

I would sit
and watch
my uncle

a catholic priest

read his breviary

the
required
prayers

he read
and said

without  fail

A boy
watching
a man
at
prayer

The                       The
light                       light
around                  around
him                        them

What was holy

the man
the book
the prayer
the place
the light

the boy watching

All was holy

sufficient

unto the day

sufficient unto eternity.
