My Father-In-Law

Harry had an automatic bible
that opened to what ever Scripture he needed
and that was a useful tool
because there was no such thing
as a quick answer to a simple question

He never gave me a nice photograph
showing what I wanted to see
because together we first had to start
somewhere back in Genesis
and muck our way forward

An hour or two later
foundation laid, framed in
dry wall up and completely wired
lights would turn on
and I could see the beauty of the structure

After Harry's heart stopped
and he took that short step forward
I asked if I might have his automatic bible
he must have taken the battery with him
took me years to rewire mine
