way’v knowing

---

I thankyou for making me thus.

And thank you for hanging around

to help me not stay here, and plus

your friendship, and kindness abound,..

.. and set my small heart singing glad.

I see that I’m made to relate,

for all of me lives as “your lad”,

a small child to you, who will wait

and patiently do what you add

to job-list of things we will share.

I’m glad as your child, you’re my “Dad”,

and so you will train me to care

for what’s in your great, gracious mind.

You want me to grow strong and true,

hospitable, gen’rous, and kind.

A fam’ly of kids just like you.

And when I do not want those things

I’m “caught”, like an addict of sorts,

I don’t know the joy of blessings

between us, so that joy is “caught”

somehow, and when eaten becomes

the stuff of life - ’stead of complaint. 

The health of our spirit soon hums

through molecules under our reign,

through these tempor’y bodies we’ve got.

Though similar looking, we’ll grow

to “breathe” as was possible not!

As we are known, so, we will know!

Notes:

Life seems to come in waves, or with seasons.

“then, (when completeness has arrived) I shall know even as I am known!” (1 Cor 13)

“Knowledge” (of the “objective”, A.I. type), puffs up, but (the other kind of knowledge) love builds up.” (but it’s not meant to be an "either - or" kind of thing, but a "both - and" the second one mentioned above is meant to be in charge, in authority - since that is our author’s good pleasure.
