This is Sam.
Every time I see this picture,
I laugh
because for some reason
at first glance
it looks like he has six fingers
but don’t worry
he has five
very capable fingers
which he uses
to beat me at Loser
frequently
and to hold my hand
frequently
which is also how often
I realize I need to help out more
with my own five fingers
at home
like Julie,
who uses her five fingers to make us dinner
every
single
Sunday
which is the day I have meetings
after church
for hours
which is okay
because I love my calling
and it’s nice to feel
like I’m putting my five fingers
to good use
for the girls in my Relief Society
even though it’s
small
like the amount of free time
I currently have
small
like the smell of spring
gliding in the air today
five weeks early
and small
like the way my hands feel
when they’re safe
and warm
inside Sam’s
five
capable fingers.
