Naming the Saints

We were filling in the blanks,
replacing Lois, replacing Eunice,
the names of his mother, his grandmother,
those faithful, from whom he learned faith
We were filling in the blanks,
a mock letter from the apostle
from Paul, to ourselves
We were filling in the blanks,
naming the faithful,
before us, who guided,
modeled, mentored,
shared their faith with us
