My spiritual life is
reflected in two days of Gary’s funeral 
Christian hymns prayers and scripture reading
heaven is the place of meeting
perfecting love relations 
mom dad sister brother child
painfully not hopelessly separated but
thanks to the blood of the lamb
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior amen.
I don’t want to censor repetitions
argue or deny but wow I can’t use
the same words in confidence of meaning
rather a poem of fresh syntax and grammar
and just to be sure that no one misunderstands
the value of my poems is 
only that they are.
