A Taste of Love
Our duty and hard labor.
The kinds of things we favor.
Spiritual growth comes from work,
Writing, and not some jerk.
Skeletons in our closets, hidden.
We clean their bones, forbidden.
We forgive ourselves but can't,
Only in confession and not a rant.
God will bring to light our sin.
If we take a first step we win.
All heaven will know we fell.
The priest will save us from hell.
Our duty and our salvation
Is for Jesus Christ and nation.
When we are forgiven from above,
Then we will have a taste of love.
