Janet & Jeff [October 16 2009]

Over there at Sunlife,
There’s more than just finance,
The rumours, they are flying,
Regarding a romance.

A senior underwriter
And an associate,
Been getting very  friendly,
Though not yet , intimate.

Now Jeff, the underwriter,
He has become quite tame
By one, Miss Janet Morris,
And now, she’s changed her name.

Two years they have been dating,
From each, they’ve learnt a lot,
Now in their mid – late twenties,
They have just tied the knot.

And just to be quite certain
That Janet said ‘I do’,
Our Jeffery got down on one knee,
In the park, at Waterloo.

But what about this couple,                         
Of them, what do we know?
What ‘tit-bits’ can we carry?
What gossip can we sow?  

Jeff was a child, artistic,
No need of paint remover,
Though, had two ’maginary friends,
One Kinver, th’other Doover.                                                   
                                                                                               
He’s always been so cautious,
Would never take Steve’s dares,
In tears, he told his mother
“I ALMOST  fell downstairs”

Now Janet is the youngest,
Two brothers and one sis,
On car rides down towards Windsor,
She’d chat ‘bout that and this.

While sitting in the back seat,
Her siblings, counting sheep,
Her father loved the chatter,
‘Cause mom did also sleep.

They have a house, - four bedrooms,
At present, prim and neat,
Just wait until they fill it,
Not paws, but tiny feet.

So as you start together,
This state, we recommend,
And from all these, here gathered,
Our love to you we send.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again

A Father's Blessing

                  As youngest son, I always sensed                   From many of the brothers,                   True or not, they’d put me down,                   I wasn’t like the others.                                    A few days prior to passing on,                  A blessing I was giv’n                        From my beloved, aged dad,                  Before he moved to Heav’n.                                    His health was failing faster now  ...
