god's butt

god’s butt

can you sing me the song about
the king and the rear end?

she asks me in that sweet but
raspy little 5-year-old voice

I don’t know a song about
a king and a rear end, I laugh

yes you do, she insists and I wrack
my brain and finally it hits me

and I somehow keep a very straight 
and solemn face as I begin to sing

I love you Lord and I lift 
my voice… take joy

my king

in what you hear / may it be a
sweet sweet sound in 

your rear

That baby girl is 20 now. God, I love her.
