John 3 v11: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

Hear the babe crying,
Waking from the womb,
I pause to ponder the worth
Of the tears shed at the birth,
Now it starts dying
And heads for the tomb,
Through all the pain and the fears
If it be days, weeks or years,
Death is the destination.

I tell what I know
Seen in the places I go,
Bits of light in gloom;
Reality bleak
That some in death seek
Final emancipation.
What do you offer?
Occasional coin in coffer,
Sit silent in pew
Is that the best you can do?
Can you not find cause
Share some goodness you keep,
Will you look around
Find the time to make a pause
And fix the broken things found,
Give by the doing,
What difference can you reap,
Hear the babe cooing
From more than two thousand years

Dearest Gloomy One,

As always your words move me. I love the way you think, mister.
