31 Days of Writing: Day Three "An ode to an article of clothing"

Berea College sweatshirt, how do I love thee? Shall I count the ways?

Your acquisition was an adventure a year ago this day:

As the school climbed the Pinnacle to celebrate the "mountains."



I had to answer a question and in return won you into my possession.

Your warmth I embraced after the sun had set,

and even when some girl in the dorm almost stole you from my grasp,

I did not believe that your would be a one-time hug.



Our love is strong, as is your fabric.

Our love is warm, like the fuzziness that covers your interior.

Our love is clean, like how I keep you {by not taking you to Family Camp}.

Our love is deep, like your front pocket.

Our love is secure, like your place in my closet.

Our love is long, like the history of the College.



O, Berea College sweatshirt, how I do love thee!

  3. Hello Bek. So good to know you through your profile on the blogger. I am also glad to stop by your blog "Contemplations of a daughter" and the post on it "An ode to an article of clothing" beautiful writing about the love. Well I am motivated to share with you about the opportunity to go to Mumbai, India on a short missions trip to work with us in the slums of Mumbai among the poorest of poor bringing good news of hope, future and purpose. I am in the Pastoral ministry for last 34yrs in this great city a city with great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the broken hearted. we also encouage young people like you as well as adults from the West to come on a short term missions trp during their summer vacation to work with us. We would love to have you come with your friends to work with us. I am sure you will have a life changing experience. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Would love to hear from you very soon.
