i knew His friends
even before He did
they introduced us
when i was a kid

i know His mom
she’s always so sweet
His father is too
they live on my street

His sister, rose
a goddess on earth
His other, maya
has a heart like a hearth

His brother dave
is moved out now
but on weekends
still comes to town

His auntie jane got married
only just this may
and already she’s pregnant
and the baby’s due sunday

and uncle chuck
on His dad’s side
who puts in windows
his wife just died

chuck’s sister
aunt marmalade
has three old cats
and needs a maid

His dad’s mother
goes to church every week
she always bakes cookies
She’s nice, but she’s meek

His mother’s mother
is crumbling at the seams
she has dementia still
she thinks she lives in queens

her husband is reserved
but a nice old man
he loves her so much
he helps her how he can

He has a child
i like her a lot
she’s three years old
her name is charlotte

i love Him so much
so imagine my strife
when He introduced me
to His beautiful wife
