Two generations sit aligned,
In the home of the Eternal Father.
The people all pray for the cleansing of sins,
While I neglect to even bother.
I see the passion within their eyes,
As they steadily walk the line.
Cross thy arms or cup thy hands,
To receive the bread and wine.
Through the motions I pace myself,
For my faith has disappeared.
The prayers in-scripted inside my mind,
Revive memories I immensely fear.

It is not just I,
Who's connection will never restore.
But applies to the woman who gave me life,
Our beings have transformed.
β€œThe Lord” no longer shepherd's us,
Beyond our wants and fears.
So when it comes time to bow our heads,
In deep cognition we will appear.
