Sunday School Lessons

You

said he who does not remember

history

is doomed.

So I’ve tried to remember.

You gave me candy when I was good,

when I raised my hand.

I’ve tried to remember

love is the answer to most of your questions.

You should love your neighbor

so your house won’t fall.

I’m trying to remember

John 3:16, for God so loved …

trying to remember

an ark, the number two, unicorns;

trying to remember

a story, Samaritans are good people

remembering

you

found a credit card,

we were walking on a class field trip.

We voted you should buy candy with it.

You said,

No, honesty is the best.

And when I was at the toy store,

saw a dollar in my father’s wallet,

needed a dollar for a pack of baseball cards,

when he was not looking,

when I did not buy a pack of baseball cards,

I remembered that

such is the meaning of history.
