• What We Believe

  It is interesting to hear people talk about what they believe, and what they say did she

  A kin full of views, we are, so varied and so full of diversity

  That I don’t often talk about my own views of God and such, even to family ones

  Or how they’ve changed over time to be something like hers, and something like Thomas Jefferson’s

  A sect by himself, he said, though little did he know of mine and hers

  General and by the constraints of Man’s organization undeterred

  There, as it is, is a belief in a truth for me and Thom untold

  And on my mind as I alone with her visited, and as she alone got so very old

  What does one say when she obviously won’t get well, but is living still?

  “Grandma, you’re going to be fine,” I said. And she to me replied, “I know I will.”
