- it's a bit peculiar too how their exasperation, irritation stemmed from their surprise at how a 7-year-old kid couldn't just accept what they were saying with the appropriate awe for the miracles they were explaining... I simply couldn't grasp how any of it was possible... that it's because he was the son of God was just weird...  

It isn't like I went out of my way

To irritate the church ladies as

A child, it's just they weren't ever

Giving me satisfactory answers

To my ever-growing questions I

Could never get clarified by them.

All they gave me was nonsense

I couldn't wrap my head around,

And their irritation cemented the

Feeling they had no clue themselves

What all of this was about, or why

They loved it so much and I should

Be feeling as much love for it too.  

It just didn't make any sense to me.

There were too many gaps and

My seven-year-old mind didn't

Like not understanding the whole.

It made me distrust this is anything

To be taken seriously, 'cause no

One had any explanations for it.

For any of it in its entirety, in fact.

The explanation is that there is none,

You must have faith it is 'cause they

Told you so.  I'm irritated with you,

But trust me, what I say is the truth,

Doesn't inspire anything positive.

It was never my intention to irritate,

But I just wanted to understand,

And their answers weren't cutting it.

Was it insolence?  Of course it wasn't.

I just wanted to better understand and

They weren't doing anything to help that.
