Your father was a rabbi
and for you religion was not a hobby.
Serious as business
was a belief endevour
until you converted into Christianity,
as you were concerned with eternity.
Spiritual solace you gained
from Lord but hardly.
Telegraph with news was speedy
and you were a business man
involved with money
but never too greedy.
