The Gift Of Baptism
At baptism I was given a gift,
wrapped in words and water,
the gift of faith,
beautifully boxed in dogma and doctrine,
packaged in sacred story and song.
Too young to open it,
they gave me the husk without the seed.
As the years rolled by I forgot the gift,
until one day,
searching for wrappings
to cover a fresh wound,
to keep the poison out
lest it become infected,
