Sewing Seams

I saw the difference you made To the barrenness of your mother Then I saw you poke fun at a worker Who thought you were a good lover ...of sewing seams I saw you reach out to a man Who struggled to sit still Then, I saw you ask another To provide him with a decent meal ...so, it would seem ....LOVE has a question I heard you spout out your beliefs With a superior tone of knowledge Then I heard anger in your voice As you tried to push him to the edge ....of that perfect seam I saw you give a dirty woman Some clothes, food, and some water Then, I saw you ignore The silent, but very present, cry from your beautiful daughter ...who wanted to sew your seem ....LOVE wants to know I saw your quick response To a fallen man in need of medical attention Then, you yell at your son Who earned himself a scholastic detention ....for sewing seems incorrectly I heard your lecture on the gospel To a crowd of would be saints I saw me, sitting in the pocket of the seam And knew I ain't ....anything like a seam/seem ....LOVE has hemmed me in HIS seam/seem Written by Trudy Schrader on 08-05-2018 Note: I absolutely LOVE words!!! I hope you see, clearly, what I glimpsed, nearly, in the seam/seem :)
