childless mind of an adult,
hurried out of preachers pew to pray,
- father insisted we bow, even during confusion -
tongues of foreign song,
hands outstretched, reaching for hope,
- tears flood mothers eyes, why was she so sad -
never listening to numbered verse,
yet, angelic voices serenade my youthful soul,
- forbidden laws etched into my fertile mind -
dissected by drugs and heathens,
poisoned by those who saught virgin toys,
- taken to corrupt lands by way of thumb -
mental status fragile,
explosive behavior destroying love,
- danger, procede with caution -
difference in matrimony mirror,
bonding males open closet doors,
- my face, I have begun to recognize -
years gone by, off-spring tally two,
lonely miles traveled, mother still praying,
- destination still not met,
....drawn by the image of verses, i finally read -
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, and for whosoever believeth upon Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life ~

) Other than that, perfection...and I hope it touches others just as it has me.
