"A Flexible Defence"

In hockey, players move with speed on ice;
Some offense play – advance, deek out, entice,
While others are more wired to play defense,
But move around, don’t sit behind a fence.

Administrators play that role in life –
They think defense, anticipate in strife
There will be times to hunker down and play
Defensive strategy, defensive way.

If we just learn defensive moves from them,
We get locked in the past, we cannot bend,
Respond to new advances of the foe,
So in behind past ramparts we must go.

But with administrators on the team,
We’re flexible, freed up from where we’ve been
To sally forth into some brand new way,
To see what life will bring for us today.

Thanks Lord for this.
