Analysis of Numbers
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Four is for completeness,
Something that I need,
Not symbolically finished,
But finished yes indeed!
Some think that it’s seven,
And some think that it’s ten,
But these are only Numbers,
The fourth book once again.
Worldly people think a lot;
But religious people can’t;
They follow all the paths of men;
Just like the little ant.
But I am not an insect;
On God I do depend;
I just need Him inside of me;
And Jesus as my friend!
