POEM: "The Misunderstanding of 1978"

NOTE: The following poem I wrote is a conversation between me and Mom. She is questioning me and when I respond it is in the different font.

POEM: THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF 1978

How'd it go? Did you "have-it-out"?
I see it took some time to find the whole truth out.
So mistrust was planted and lies were spoken
Just to get cheap thrills from watching love lines broken

Misunderstanding over? So why still pained?
Oh. To cure the hurt she had to be restrained

{What about the future, when we're both older?
And I'm too small to physically hold her?}

By then your faithful love will demonstrate to her
And her own dear heart won't under rate the cure.
We'll pray on that future day she'll discern what's true.
Between now and then ...
                           your heart has work to do.




(Thanks again, Mom, for your wisdom and being a living example of who Jesus is)
