return to the beginning (love & faithfulness kiss)
Well what was happening to my old Dad
and what was happening within him too
when I was with him there for just a tad
a week ago I saw what he could do
when he was not in panic, manic mode,
but sharing life in weakness and in pain;
he couldn't talk so loud or long, he rode
the wave, confused, determined. Then again..
his son did not step in much to adjust
the outcomes, or to stop him pestering.
The son was honouring, as well he must
be if he’s not un-grateful, un-fitting.
So both, in strength and love of God relied,
and loveliness related in this world -
a little piece of heaven was espied.
Oh God I choose for that where I am hurled
by you the ever trusting, faithful one.
I, and my Dad with strength of God of love,
will learn to trust in you as your own son
who’d grow like his own father who’s above,
below, around, before & aft-
-ter too. Your wisdom & your faithfulness
we’ll use, aspire to (though we are daft
and often draw the wrong conclusions). Bless
me farther on, and farther in to you,
to grow old and to die well. God you showed
the later (& the former). May we too
fulfill your word to us, so you’ve not “blowed*”.
