Analysis of The Fiftieth (partnership grows)
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Ask of me OK?
Fathers love to give.
To lighten the load.
And you remember
You are thankful
In all honesty.
Not like many I see
Who live right down
Slander and lies.
Waiting to do harm.
And this they do
In the face of Almighty.
The Creator and Sustainer.
They have no shame.
They will inherit my wrath.
Terrible as it will be.
But you Child are growing
In the Love Response.
Keep calling, that
I might answer.
In this you approach
My Heart and Agenda.
Your prayers give me pleasure.
Even if sometimes you
Just sit and soak and smile.
My whispers are beginning
To point to large measures
In redemptive purpose
For other reverent, searching ones.
You partner in this.
Beyond your wildest dreams.
Listen and move forward.
(Now read Psalm 50 in the KJV and Philippians 4)
