CAPTIVATION

The only one I know who’s absolute
About what’s what and what the future brings
And whom I have no power to refute
Is patient with my clueless wanderings.

She cuts my hair, so every month or so
She has my ear and shares her firm belief
In how Jehovah rules all here below
Saving the faithful from eternal grief.

Agnostic questioning and rational doubt
Cannot compete with perfect certainty
In knowing what Divinity’s about:
Our life in Paradise eternally.

     With time I’ve learned it’s futile to debate
     A story with an ending that’s so great.
