t'asking...

Keep on asking, and you will receive. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. Jesus of Nazareth; (Matthew 7:7 - PM Version)

---

"So keep on asking", not just acting out.

It seems like one will keep you small and frail,

while t’other is more muscular - a shout,

and else demand, which seems to more avail.

The Heavens and the Earth are of such stuff

that at the centre of it all is One;

One person, not material (though tough),

and not just energy as is our sun.

And Jesus’ insight goes against the grain

(the way things fall, just naturally for us),

he calls the core of all-that-is a “name”,

like Papa. He recalls then any fuss

that Papa makes, and listens as a child,

- & carefully obeys his ev’ry wish,

which means sometimes he seems to run quite wild,

and sometimes is as slippery as a fish.

But other times he sets off ev’ry trap,

and let's them do the worst that they can do.

It's like he might be just a "loser" chap,

but that’s because God likes his children too.

So Jesus says you certainly should ask,

for then you will receive from God’s own hand -

he’ll give you what you need for any task,

and even change some things that he has planned.

So keep on seeking and you’ll find you’ll find.

And keep on knocking (not turning the knob?),

and doors will open up, and stairways wind

up taking you up to where angels lob.
