I’ll call her Jean
She’s never had a girlfriend
She’s 80.
She lives near me.
Who decided Jean should live out her days alone?
Jean couldn’t do it –
Be with a man.
So was it the Bible
Which says you should be stoned for eating shrimp?

Jesus never mentioned Jean
But he did say
‘You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.’
Love is kind, it always protects,
It never fails.
Let’s tell Jean
The good news,
‘You can come out now.’
