That Church

She had never gone before as it wasn't her thing But there at the door she could hear the choir sing Determined to follow through she just walked in An usher saying how are you with a great big grin Sitting in the last pew as the mass began to start As this was all so new and this feeling in her heart She sat and then stood and then sat once again As the priest talked of the good that is within all men They sung some songs and said the Lord's Prayer Asking to forgive wrongs in so acting morally fair Then they stood in line like they were addressing a King I heard that they drank wine as again they began to sing It wasn't until leaving in something she couldn't handle It was an old woman grieving and lighting this candle She thought of her own Dad such a great man was he In feeling so sad, "maybe I'll light a candle from me" Kneeling now side by side as she just stared at the flame But then broke down and cried as life would never be the same When the old woman turned and whispered into her ear With God, one thing I have learned is you need not ever fear
