What you Truly Own

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)

Pastoral
Star streaks flew by
As madness did try.
The touch of God
Is worth a trod.

Though some may
Think you’re crazy,
You don’t have
To be so lazy.

If you think you’re
Strong, don’t give up
When you find a place
Where you do belong.

When shelter ensues
Build yourself up
And don’t go into
The night of blues.

The Black Knights
Will use you, so
Don’t let them go
And abuse you.

If your home is
Heaven, don’t like
The seven. But what
Is not shown, you own.
