“Two things to check”, I said that day –
First, where you’ll be in teaching way
With David – done? Or wrapping up?
So, “What to preach?” Some guidance rough.The second – it is June once more,
When “worldly kings go off to war”;
Sun Tzu says think before you act;
Win war, then fight – much better that –Than jumping in then trying to win;
Think well before your folk begin
To get enmeshed in all that jazz,
And you must show your razzmatazz.And as I said one time before,
In June I think each year, so more
Intentional my self can be
In helping out community.As back when I went on my quest,
’Twas forty things I’d done – not best,
But sloppy, loosey-goosey way
So cut to one – I’ve focused stayed.Led Scouts two years; two Sunday school;
Four film group board; ten plus was cool,
In that I helped the AA’s out –
“Fifth steps” what I was all about.One year commuted from the Peg;
Three “project mom” – reversed that leg;
Seven back to school – two more degrees
To understand community.So lots I do – “fifth business” like,
Behind the scenes augmenting light
Folks are in need of in their night,
To keep them centered in their fight.Now I stand back, consider this;
One set and I lock down to this –
“Committee which they put me on
To nominate – help them along.My inclination? Take this job
And do it well, like guy named “Bob”
With name on chest of overalls –
Mechanic at garage – that’s all.I’m not mechanic – physical;
I’m not a groupie – literal;
I like to learn; share what I know;
On Sunday, off to church I go.Don’t “get” their structure and their acts;
Don’t understand their Baptist facts
Denomination’s corporate scene
Is steeped in where I have not been.But ach! I see it – that’s what change
Has brought – so now it’s rearranged;
Go back and see what’s different now,
And seek direction there somehow.navigation
