serendipit..ease

Well, those surprises come and go at  times.

But, mostly when we least expect them, eh?

And heaps of things within our lives have rhymes.

Some sounds somehow remind us in the fray

of life - its ups and downs, and round abouts,

(that come, and come again - bit later on)

the vowel-sounds in these phonemes seem to shout,

some sing, and bring to mind things right, or wrong.

How lucky are we that we are not judged

by all reality, for all our thoughts.

And that our judge's mind cannot be budged

from judging us by what we "do". His laws

combine with all his wooing ways, to waft,

and help imaginations to arise

and do their best to motivate us oft-

en then, we're motivated, energised,

in ways opaque to ungracious "un-love".

God's actions are to do, but also teach,

and help us want the change that's "from above".

Oh help us God, to mimic you in speech.

And thanks for all this "fam'ly stuff" you give

to us, as though we were not bent from hell.

Just now we are determined so to live

with your good gifts and graces that "do well".

D' well with you, as you d' well with us.

Oh gift of gifts, your presence is enough

for life and godliness, without the "fuss",

just your reality, that is quite tough!
