Hmm. Go well brother.
God help him listen,
& not to smother
but honour glisten-

ing truth, and love's grace
so when they all meet,
& see t'other's face,
your joy will complete.

Make him a blessing
to all his 'lations.
Keep them aguessing..
joying elations,

to honour what's good,
disparage what's not,
just as Jesus stood
with brothers and what...

missing their false praise,
not playing to pomp,
yet trav'lling when raised
to James to show somp-

thing of that grace which
honours relations,
greetings (like friends' kiss,
G-grandfather's stations),

looks after his Mum,
makes fam'ly of John,
not jealous as some
get, putting love on!
