ol' mate

ol' mate



Found this ol' mate on way to Gosling Creek 

today and strangely didn't hear a squeak

out of him, but alive, not well, to speak

of body, but his spirit seems quite meek.


He asked by signs for me (& maybe you)

to pray for him to keep looking up to

the one he's trusting even more to do

as he has said - to help folk to renew


their minds (and bodies). Books he showed me there

do testify that gladly he's aware

in fresh ways of his need to not just care,

but keep on choosing well. He asked for prayer.








Ol' mate is here alive; not well at all,

in ICU with dozens of these leads

& tubes into him, from him, some not small,

both down his nose & gullet. Still he reads,


and lets these folk help him to heal up, and

get rid of this infection in his lung,

One day I reckon he will talk, and stand

again and sort out some of what is bung.


.. (t.b.c.)
