My Consumers, draft no. 2

At first I was frightened

At first I was stunned

To realize your frailties and mine were one

Yet, now I’m relieved you left me undone

And anything half as good befell you, too

Even though I cannot speak to you (of him) directly, I pray you know Who felled you  

 


 My Consumers, draft no. 1

The consumers I have met with whether in pairs or threes or one

Were the ones I have failed with, the ones that have me undone

At first that I was frightened

At first I was stunned

To realize your disabilities and mine are as one

I think that you have helped my pain and blindness some

And if I have done anything the same for you

Then even though I cannot speak his name

I pray God shows who it’s been done through.
