Crazy Old Men with
Rockets ‘n’ Bombs
When you read to your brother or sister
A go-to-sleep book about bunnies and stars
You are healing a wound in
Creation
Made by some
malevolent old man
When you sing along with the washing machine
And help your MeeMaw up those tricky stairs
You are healing a wound in Creation
Made by some malevolent old man
When you sit on the steps late at night
And watch a pirate ship sail close by the moon
You are healing a wound in Creation
Made by some malevolent old man
When you pray for the bombed-out refugees
And put a little extra in the collection plate
You are healing a wound in Creation
Made by some malevolent old man
When you sing a song to the universe
It remains in the heavens forever
Because
You helped heal a wound in Creation
