Change Poem by cheryl davis miller

Esther Sue she’s the ‘want to be Jew’
not happy with being herself.
Fifty odd years she was called Jean till
she put her old name on a shelf.

Tell me how does one change from Christian,
then decide ‘now I’ll be a Jew? ’
It really escapes understanding
at least with me, how about you?

First she quit eating her bacon then
she acted like we should quit too.
Said we all called G_D by the wrong name
and we needed to learn Hebrew.

We worshipped the Lord on the wrong day
and needed to learn to make myrrh.
Guess nothing was right in our worship
at least not according to her.

The thing that amazes me most is
how Christians have lasted this long.
Also why she now seems so bitter
if her Judaism’s so strong.
