Support Network

Went to the redemption center
To drop off my pile of regrets

The long haired hippie behind the counter
Asked me if needed a little help

I insisted I could handle the load myself
As I am the proudly independent type

He seemed a tad put off by my refusal
With a look of profound disappointment

So he gently asked me again if I needed him
“Jesus Christ!” I said, “Please leave me be!”

With that he bowed his head and proclaimed
“Thou knowth who I be and yet ye reject me?”

Then he faded transparent and vanished
And my dark soul filled with white light

The redemption center is now my cathedral
Where I gladly seek the support I once spurned

In our lame little world of woe         
We need all the crutches we can find
