In God We Trust

In God We Trust

All three of us have ivory skin   Is this how I should begin?  You had big brown eyes that ran in your family Your skin was darker and you never got sun burned.

Your brother's six children all had those eyes When you saw that ours were so light Did that cause you to wonder why, and think that wasn't right?

In Science class our teacher said that brown eyes are dominant  That at least one of us should have had your eyes  That was a fact that I adamantly denied  Was this something I just did not want to realize?

You looked at us sometimes like we were strangers  Was that because you were afraid  That you were not our dad? We had no connection  You went in another direction Especially when mom gave birth to a son You went through hell  People were always saying to you " he looks nothing like you, Bill."

You played golf and fished with him together  Things where others didn't see you with each other  Would it have hurt you to have at least tried  Science is not always wise.

My brother was left without a guide  You were never around  You should have been proud  That word in our household seemed not allowed  None of us ever really got to know you;  Just because you thought none of us looked like you?

Why did you hold that against us?  It is in God we trust  In this case we must;  The reality might be too much.
