Daughter fought a war before..

May Milly Pilly Polly Pandy be

an older bolder woman who will see

much that will come and go for God's kingdom,

as she and he (her Dunc the punk) wing some

of what the world has hurled (and will still yet)

at them, with changes in the wind - you bet!

For change goes with decay in this ol' Age

whose change comes from decaying at this stage,

because a bunch of un-dead walk this Earth,

until the breath of life has given birth,

or else has waked the dead with God's own “Word”,

which once it's spoken, has pow'r quite absurd.

For we are used to pow'rless words down here,

don't understand how he was drawing near,

and binding himself to what he had said,

to then bring out creative things ahead.

But Milly is like her Father above,

she knows that words come only from his Love,

and learning still, to speak, like him, the Truth,

she's growing to maturity, from youth.

And ev'ry year her age increases “one”.

They say her twenty seventh year's begun

since she's completed 26 today.

So I am glad to celebrate and say,

that Milly Pilly Polly Pandy is

a older woman, holder of true wis-

dom, as she’s learning to share in God's life,

as daughter, sister, friend and also wife.
