She came to worship
With husband and the
Other wife.
Priest Eli attending.
Long journey to Jerusalem
Twice per year.
Other woman left her
Child in other good hands.
But Hannah was barren.
In the culture some sign
Of Heaven’s disappointment.
And oh how she longed for that Baby,
At one point in the
Ministrations her prayer
Became moanings guttural
Mumblings.
Unintelligible and perhaps
Seeming drunken.
The man of God took note
And was about to scold
When he learned the story.
He took hold of
Hannah’s shoulders assuring.
In one year’s time
Her desire would come to fruition.
And God was in his words.
