Sunday - Lily's Day At Church

SUNDAY - LILY'S DAY AT CHURCH As Lily had her freedom, it's off to church we go Lily; dressed in light pink was putting on a show Father Duncan; eyes lily up but, is not quite sure Didn’t say anything; in case it may be premature Droning on with his sermons, on all life’s wrongs After he sang some very strange inaudible songs Father Duncan, cast a eye over the congregation Says, Lily would you like to give the presentation Lily; jumped up, and was straight into that pulpit As says, when it comes to God, I’m totally with it God; wants us, to be ourselves, in whatever way This your path of righteousness, and never sway Learn to become that person; that you really are As God each night, lights up for you a bright star Time Lily is finished the congregation were in awe This lass knew her stuff and truly knew the score Father Duncan; he was, far more than impressed Weighing Lily up, decided, it was best not to test We both left the church laughing; what a Sunday Father Duncan, as on his knees totally in disarray Lily, was not what the Bible teaches us in any way But, more understanding we will be there one day Indiana Shaw . . . ; ) "Father Duncan had not got quite used to the concept of a transgender under his church roof, but, hey there is time yet" . . . : )
