Plays guitar, &

it “rings”?

2.
He has reached nineteen,
hard working he is.
Sometimes he is seen
doing jobs not his,
3.
helping others out,
giving them a hand,
but not if there’s doubt
whether they are: sound
4.
in motive, or fair-
dinkum, for if so
he might shoot a prayer,
but do their work? No!
5.
Learning to be less
stubborn in his views,
poor bloke; can you guess
(- do you know the news)?
6.
Who’s his (mum &) dad?
What hope has he got?
It would be quite sad -
sad if it were not
7.
for that other line
of ancestry here.
One that’s good & fine,
one that makes us cheer!
8.
The line that he’s tapped
into (with a hum),
the beat that is rapped
on a different drum,
9.
by the one who’s capped
(from above, he’s come):
“The Master” - who’s lapped
all others - He won!
10.
“Nineteen” is now whose?
- not owned by himself -
Genes now help him (choose),
and his “old-man” ’s wealth!
11.
Wow! He’s found a good
secret, if ever
one was found that
could
shake up and sever
12.
the vicious cycle,
that takes us all
down,
like a big whirlpool.
He has learned to
frown
13.
at ancestry from
below; yet still be
“like father, like
son”.
Yeshua’s the key!
14.
For He is Father
of his children, and
small son who’d
rather
hold the Father’s
hand.
15.
He shows us how to
be parent, &
child.
How to live in love,
the right kind of wild!
16.
“Nineteen” ’s determined
to learn from his new
dad, thus not
spurnin’
what genes “make” you do,
17.
also to listen
to his every word,
such jewels that
glisten,
not this world’s
absurd
18.
lust for independ-
-ence from He who
would
lead us to an end
which is strong &
good,
19.
and new beginning
(just like being born
years ago - Nineteen)
also each new morn!
