"27"


The number 27

In my life, I have found, 

Appears to be quite vital, 

Its vastness,  does astound.


Many things have happened

Their randomness abound,

Things I'd no control over,

Have '27', crowned.


I joined church choir, aged seventeen

The bass line, sang so grand,
Then moved away, aged 44,
To live in 'nother land.

At 27, I did meet

The one to be my wife,

She who'd vow to have & hold

For the rest of life.


While on my birth date, were engaged,

On hers, we said "I Do"

She was born, the month of May,

And 27th too.


A few years after we were wed,

Some surgery I'd procure,

February 27th

The scalpel I'd endure.


Quite a few years later

At age of forty four,

27 years I'd worked

In U.K. - not one more.


We migrated to Canada,

Employment found, with cheer

And if I work to 71

'Twill be 27 here.


One client in the commun'ty,

Moved to group home, shed tears,

Got him at  age of 27 

And served a dozen years.


I well could add on to this list

Be interesting to see

When I reach 27 things,

Would it be the end of me?

To Know, Know, Know Him. {song}

To know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, Just to walk His way, In His will, to stay, Yes. to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, And I do, yes I do, do you? When He died for me, On that cruel tree, He endured such agony Just so He could set me free, He rose again triumphantly And He lives in Heav'n eternally, He wants you and me there too. Why can't men see How vast His love be? Some day He'll return To take His own to Glory. To know, really know Him, Is to love, truly love Him Live for Him each day, In His will, obey, Yes to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him And I know, He loves you too.                                                                                       ...

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
