toddler tumult

---

Oh God, please help that Mum with squeamish boy,

to have wisdom to see what's going down,

to play the part of parent, full of joy,

and praying as she gives thanks on this ground.

But maybe, as I think some later on,

there might be need for anger in this  world..

It might not be too bad a note in song;

at the right time, not quickly as if hurled.

They say that God is slow to anger and

abounding in that HESED (loving kind-

-ness) and James says quick anger can not stand

& carry righteous living forward - mind...

This doesn’t play the part of nounish thought

to bring the world to heel, to me, myself.

That kind of rule makes sep'rate things be wrought

to do the will of who’s in charge, has wealth.

The way of HESED works by teaming up,

a covenant, or partnership’s the thing.

And in that context truth won’t just corrupt

because who’s fitted best for job must bring

that to the table, love must need sometimes

to have a small & weak one soaking up

more love into this world, to then make rhymes

perpetuating how one might erupt.

And that CREATIVE HESED is the WAY

to forward move, to live, to love, in truth.

And now I see it, I must further say

it is the way to all eternal youth.

Amen
