(wo)man at work!

How do you do it, God? We'd like to know,

but not because we need to, just 'coz "Wow,

it's magic, and you've let us be in tow,

and join in all this fun and stuff, somehow."

It's kinda like when your creative stuff

is happening, they are the best of times,

and not because we are so big and tough

& in control, in fact the best of rhymes

are ones that sneak up and then un-announced,

jump in and do their poetry on us,

and unexpected, we're knocked over, trounced,

and gob-smacked; though we recognise and fuss,

we know we didn't plan it all, and make

it happen as a boss that's full in charge,

and yet you often let us help you bake

and get into the swing of things at large!

We like the way you let us hang about
with you, and then you let us get involved
and do real jobs. It's only when we flout
our gifts, and talk as though we are who solved

the problems all alone, and by ourselves;
we didn't need the help of God above,
and talk as though our privilege & health
somehow have come from us, not from your love.

And even then, you keep on drawing us,
and helping us to see this very thing,
so that we may get over all that fuss
and learn to live here under you as King!
