A Good Husband by Mike Bartholomew-Biggs

A Good Husband

I knew the Law of course –

and there seemed to be no doubt

that she’d done wrong.

Yet God knows we’re all human

and I’d no wish to break her.

I knew the Prophets too –

but you don’t expect their words

so close to home

to mix you up in matters

beyond your understanding.

So what’s the greater sin –

to dare to believe her story

or deny my dream?

Some questions will not let you

put them quietly aside.
