God, help this lady, who is your small child,
to cry as is the right emotion to
express the kind of sadness, grief as styled
by you our God, & Jesus son of you.
And same for Paul, her husband; may they smile
as Jesus did to people whom he met,
as well as crying loudly in the style
of prophets of the God we've not seen yet
we love him, 'coz he sources all OUR love,
and answers all requests as he thinks good.
We trust his wisdom as from far above
our own, which is just sense. And so we should.
And thanks for blessing them together with
the offspring that you gave them, so to more
bring blessing from the heavens to the ear-th
to help embody what we’re put here for.
They never thought they’d live eternally
in mortal bodies, any more than those
of ante-natal foetuses which be
fed, breathing and excreting through that hose -
the cord that is um-bill-i-cal that goes
to the placenta, inside womb of Mum,
but after birth the after-birth, and hose
are well, discarded - “bigger” life has come.
But also all the after-birth may well
be buried with some honour & some grace,
because it served, sustaining life; and tell
the story of its work in that small space.
