fe'ched

Updated: May 4, 2025

"De onies' trouble wid havin' mixed glances is 'dat seem like hit confines a man ter preach wrath. "So long as I tried preachin' Heaven, wid golden streets an' harp music, I nuver fe'ched in a soul, but 'cep'n' sech as was dis a-waitin' fur de open do' to come in. Dat's my onies' drawback, Brer Jones. Sometimes seem like when Heaven comes inter my heart I does crave ter preach it in a song.
