In Him
He must have some of them, in him
because myself, I could not win ~
the single mother, her chagrin
her buttressing, constancies' grim!
Oh pleasant times there were, but then
the years defining altered vim
and soon designing, the world's rim
left to consigning, losing's kin!
At last the summit, on his own
a marriage, pining not alone
and children that his heart's condone
did not leave at a sitter's home!
He must have some of them, I know
my grandpa's, fathers, wholesome folk,
who knew their way, with courage prone
and looking back, their effort's known!
Must watch it all, the separates' hone
a child, not broken, just rezone.
The single mother's hope relies,
upon that justice God implies!
