The Good Book
James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)
The Good Book
A note here – a note there
Perhaps a note everywhere
Chapters to read daily
About the Good One
About the Bad One
Lessons learned from those blessed
Always being put to the test
Written here - Written there
I dare not swear
A spirit saying
Good for Little Ones
Good for old Ones
Breathtaking experiences
Will make you believe A Good Book to conceive…

About this poem
The Holy Books obtain something for all, whether we console or not. One can contest certain things, but facts can be proven.
