Apart from heaven,
The greatest joy is our eleven.
What gems they are,
Walking in truth among us;
An asset to our body politic,
Advocating for true justice
As defined by God’s Word.
(Of course!\u00a0 How else to define
That which is quite sublime!
We need revelation from on high
And, indeed, we got it!
Those prophets and apostles
And God, Himself, incarnate
Has revealed to us what is right
And, don’t forget, what is wrong!)
Well, those children are not just an option;
They are what God calls a “blessing”!
So, don’t be a fool and think it to be cool
To avoid such gifts as you drift
Along with ideas other than God’s!
Believe Him, rather than the frauds
Who tell you that they are a drag
Or an “inconvenience” – to put it politely.
Give thanks and rejoice in those gifts
You will get through troubles and rifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
