Religion-propped ~~~ toward virtuous deed
I thank my parents’ example indeed
Instilling, imparting practical creed

Learning to give up worldly ways
To obtain a Godly passion

My hearts desire was fulfilled

Sometimes people just get tired
Of cussing, fussing and being confused

They understand love
