So lovely - his love is. Lowly is he.

Not High and Mighty, though highest he be,

and mighty his love that's never ending -

creates a world for work, home, and friending.

First of all home, then friending, then work.

As a babe's womb-world, is no place to shirk -

the whole point is growing, towards the mature,

even a foetus knows more than   "manure".

Muck-own-i-um happens, inside a womb

but many a babe is still borne from that room

and lowly, hum-bly, Love stays with them then

to give them a chance to choose to be "friend",

instead of "hater" who'll "proudly compete",

more options later (with friendship that's sweet)

appear and will gently allow one to greet

trials as friends which will make you complete.
