I owe a great deal to my maternal grandmother; she was a regular and terrific Bible reader. Some of my earliest memories are from her reading the 23rd Psalm, which has been a favorite of mine since early childhood: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil," and so forth. I don't know that many people see this as poetry, but I think it really is.
