From my blood family I do never anything receive,

But from my Den family I get to read of their poetry,

And every so often receive from them a trinket of caring...

Not so much is the gift I did today receive a trinket,

It is just exactly what I wanted,

Reminding me to of faith drink it,

Even after in the past my faith being low,

J. Allen Wilson did send it to me undaunted...

A beautiful cross of the Disciple's variety,

I'm sure I will use it in times of anxiety,

It will show not only to myself & in general society,

Of my everlasting faith and piety...
