"Can't make it ... Got to focus on the family this week"

That's ok,
don't delay.
Act to serve.
Don't lose nerve.

Follow on
(second place
to God's son),
his disgrace

is what love
is about.
Look above,
don't give doubt

of his word
air to breathe.
Check you've heard
(not deceived),

then step strong
where he's led:
Old Self's wrong,
and soon dead!

New Self shines
like he did,
no more whines
of a kid.

But a child's
thankfulness,
in the wilds,
'squick to bless!
