Where Are The Books?



there are a thousand
things

that Jesus could teach us

where are the books for it?

where do we look for It?

there are a thousand
things

people do cling
to

but never do find
of
something more-kind

there are a thousand
wings

made-up for to fly

that never reach sky
they only drift by ...
