Doubtless June and Heaven aren’t
Kade from self-same recipe;
Though June be a bit inferior,
It’s a fair facsimile.
Some folk, being from Missouri,
Can’t believe unless they’re shown;
Another’s eyes are not sufficient:
They scarcely dare to trust their own–
“Prove your Jesus and your Bible”–
Until they’re shown, they’ll stay aloof.
Try as you will, you can’t convince them;
LIVING IT is final proof.
Heaven, though, ‘s another matter:
With this June we’re living through,
I can hardly put a limit
To the thinga my God can do.
June, to me, says there’s a Heaven;
Some there are who’ll disagree–
Doubt you may the gift of Heaven:
June is proof enough for ME!
