FOOL’S GOLD
WHAT ARE THESE TRINKETS AND THE CHARMS
OF GOLD YOU WEAR AROUND YOUR ARMS?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SCAPULAR?
YOU SAY IT’S NOT AS POPULAR?
YOU SAY THAT CLOTH AND GOD DON’T MIX.
THEN WHAT ABOUT THE CRUCIFIX?
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT MY FRIENDS WILL SAY;
MAYBE I’LL TRY THE CROSS SOMEDAY.”
WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I WORSHIPPED GOLD;
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD GROW OLD.
BUT NOW THE SCAPULAR I WEAR
AND WORSHIP GOD IN DAILY PRAYER.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
