“The Change”
“Photography – you know the score –
Tomorrow starts – up-shift to more,
For that’s the change brought by the shift
July the first – the part you missed.“For though it’s time (he’s on his way),
For you to focus on that day
Will be the shift you’ve come to see
To photo-work as ministry.“That is the score for you, my friend,
As you press onward to the end
Of life in Me – My life through you
Photography is what you’ll do.“It does not matter now how much
Of giver-landish ways you touch,
For that is where you’ve come to be
Don’t fix the fix I fixed for thee.”“Whatever, Lord”, is what I say
Contented now to live Your way,
For on Your shoulders here I ride –
You carry me to other side.What do I know about all this?
Out on my own I’d be remiss
If I did not continue thus,
Through all this everlasting muss –So Lord, okay, I’ll carry on
Photography until I’m done;
However You wish from today,
I’ll work – in You – it’s more like play.I see the first – shoot cards – return
Them to creator – help her earn
The cash that’s due for her today;
Create a flow where they can play –A central part – my work through her
As artists type – distinctions blur
Between the media I use
Give art each outlet that I choose.“You copied are – so do it, Stu;
Show them the way, they’ll copy you;
And then branch out – who cares where to
Just do your part – make pictures – do.”navigation
