the equality of the human race;
your faith was built on solid ground
but in old age, you turned around.
With outraged glare you slam the door
on kindness to the homeless poor;
your politics are quite unhinged –
wild declarations make us cringe.
I’ve tried to merge the one we knew
as children with the current you,
but the fear you failed to recognise
has left your spirit calcified.
And yet, your altruistic love
once taught us how to rise above
this change I cannot comprehend –
I choose to love you to the end.
but the fear you failed to recognise
has left your spirit calcified.
And yet, your altruistic love
once taught us how to rise above
this change I cannot comprehend –
I choose to love you to the end.
