You have given me my name, and you’re the only one to love me.
You are my father, better than life and, stronger then iron
You called me your son and spoke to me your word.
It is so beautiful; I couldn't, but memorize and write it down.
Publish it and call it holy.
Yes sir, it’s the bible. Guidance to our reconnection to perfection,
But none can be perfected.
Imperfectly advertising an answer that's not yet answered,
But consumed.
Faith is you, and we praise for answers
Hidden replies are your solution. So we wait for the night,
Where you take us all away.
That is why, therefore "in God we wait, and trust".

My mom is a very religious person and I couldn't bear, but make her happy, so I wrote a little something as I thought of her.
