A Grandfather's Love

When I question you,*                                                                                    It is to raise the awareness of your mind,
Because we all are subject to descend                                                            to the lower places of life.

When I question you,                                                                                    It is to challenge the thoughts of your heart,
Because we all tend to dwell and sometimes                                              linger in the secret corridors of our hearts.

When I question you,                                                                                    
It is to unseal the conscience of a wounded spirit,
Because human nature will often inflict us with                                       
wounds and imprison our conscience.

May God awaken us all                                                                            and illumine our dark areas.
