Odds: two to one;

There is a little ditty thing
that comments on our here-life,
helps us in culturing
goodness to be rife,
to help us sing!
 
It’s not of my in-tu-it-ing,
in some ways it is “counter-”,
yet I have seen it bring
living love down ta
earth, & give wing
 
to sure-impossible giving,
to highest aspirations,
to new kinds of living
(and deprivations -
with their sieving!)
 
And yet it is but a picture
a faint mirror of the real
life that has no stricture
(not just what we feel).
So it tricks ya..
 
..when you focus on its surface,
forgetting it’s a window,
‘n’ it can’t do the same service -
to let the light flow,
not un-nerve us.
 
Our choice as husbands & as wives:
live for a bigger body
(home for some bigger lives),
or else; those shody
small selves, small dives!
 
The little ditty goes like this:
“Life’s story brings a point where
a bloke should bail from his
Dad & Mum, to care
for wife - NEW LIFE.”

Dimensions: one to two!

 

A sister of Jesus goes where he sees us.

God, please give your grace
to Val, so to trace
your thoughts where she is;
meeting on some buiz.
Amen

An unfinished thanx

God we thank you -
The Great Goodly Glad-
for all that you do
(though sometimes we're sad).

With what wise wings
you let life fly by;
each gifted like kings
to choose what we'll try,

and then from you,
your nature is gi'en
that in all we do
we might show off hea'en.

A belly empties out, a mate misses out...

Bill, sorry to hear that
you're feeling bad,
and missing out on Matt
and Bec so glad!

A-wedding (of more than) A-genda

Matt & Bec (and maybe others?)
coming round to a new life;
losing "self", as fathers/mothers
learning love, instead of strife;

and it's right that now new pleasures
come to help them as they give
of themselves in further measures
learning love's new Way to live,

and new understandings will come
to you both as you play well
your parts, though your feelings be numb,
you'll learn Love, & it will tell!
