Jeremiah
looked at Paul
on his wedding day
and asked
“Brother, what does it all
mean?”
Paul looked
at the man, who
in every way he admired,
and spoke simply,
what was not necessarily the truth,
but what was needed to be said,
“You’re gonna haul it all,
her sorrows,
the children’s sorrows,
the welfare of em’ all,
and you’re gonna do it
with a smile.
Cause you can,
and cause it is unspoken.
This is the Gospel of our folk.”
Jeremiah couldn’t ever remember it verbatim,
but he never forgot it.
