Unoffended
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
He wasn’t like his grandpa; he wasn’t like his dad,
He wasn’t like his grandma and that just made him sad.
He wasn’t like his mother, a little stinker poo,
He wasn’t like his brothers; but he looked a lot like you.
Father, can you tell me what is it that I should do?
I want to live and die for Christ; I know your Word is true!
He wasn’t like the wicked; he didn’t talk too much,
He didn’t mix the truth with lies, but sought the Father’s touch.
