God Will Overlook

God Will Overlook For God, would you want to go to work As maybe quite a genius or plain old clerk Milking many cows or working in a field Hoping to produce a very good yield. How about being plumber or a typist Be in a beauty pageant and hard to resist Or just judge sitting there who will wait Then after best is chosen begin to celebrate. As all my days increase and a poet may be Always trying my best and others agree Then God started administering His test Discovered just being your self is the best. Don't find yourself false, but to God be true Even though on His test may miss a few Come to think of it, I am a miserable cook Thank goodness, my cooking He will overlook.

Interesting. My mother's yates family was from Stokes County, NC. The Fulton's were on her mother's side of the family. Five fought in Civil War and one was killed at Gettysburg. Did not know Latin could be spoken. Jim Horn
