and afterwards, shopping for goods
the teacher's aid, smiled board and “sayed”
her mind and heart: “Glad!” from the start
of period 5, brought well alive
the yes-ter-day, backed up my claim
the night before, re.5,3,4
The phone came soon, to bring the boon
of one joining the “Chaplain” thing
I looked forward to working good
with local man of “Clergy” clan.
But reasons why brought on a sigh,
made more perplexed, and even vexed:
Quals did not match, more recent hatched.
[No question asked of input past
to primary aged; except if waged
to Primary teach, and there (impeached)
I answered “No-oo”, but went on slow
to say there was, “one year” because..
But man on phone, start2intone
next question, (he could not hear/see-
and later on said much had “gone”,
or was unclear to even hear).]
So then I felt the process “smelt”.
Which time to time comes down the line
of human life, magnetting strife.
Now, the next day, I’ll right here say
I'm very glad of good (not bad)
to come of this, (though be remiss).
So thank you God, please give your nod
as you see fit, please bring on it.
We know your touch brings good, so much,
if I can wait, as Pharoh's “mate”
[that Joseph lad, who got some bad
press, even frum his Dad (and Mum?)]
did, trusting you, to come on through
not for himself, but more as “elf”
who worked behind the scenes to find
the way to bless in quite a mess
(with God, like his, who is inviz-
-ible to us, that’s what HE does)
Thanks, in this dance I've got a chance
to live core stuff, when going's tough:
to not react, instead en-act
what is trusting, ’stead of busting.
In Christ “Go well”, right through the hell
and so like him, preach more than whim,
that your life’s word will clear be heard
as others there look on, or stare,
that maybe hope with them elope
and take them straight to Heaven’s Gate
and maybe through, since he can do
that (being True, Ladder, Life’s clue).
Yipee! WhoRay? Good God! Today!
Amen! - Paul.
