FAMILY

                        MY BETTE WITH AN E

As pentacostal tongues of fire apostles' lips afreed,

So did she loose my alien soul, Almighty's word to heed.

I cannot even start to say how many joys abound

Within my heart and in my life since Bette came around.

Before she came my world above was nothing but a cloud,

And I was but a foundering man, a hermit in a crowd.

She cleared my sky, my universe, a million stars to see

And freed my heart, true love to know, my Bette with an E.

A whole new meaning did she give   the word called family,

Myself the man,   cat Molly too,   and Bette with an E.
