a rus-ta-far-ian friend

Please God help us (and "Russ")

to see what you would do

if you were in the bin

we sometimes feel is real

but soon forget, and yet

we know it's so. Don't go

away from us (and "Russ").

Thank you for the one he

(that's Yeshua) remarked

would come to us (& "Russ"),

even in dark, we'll hark.

And thanks to you (who's true)

we'll ask you to renew

us and our friend you sent.

Please give us all (this Paul

especially now) somehow

your grace and love above

all other needs, with deeds

that work with wis- dom's biz-

nus to help us (and "Russ").
