Ascension Amblings

orchidee



Some amblings, or even ramblings

About Ascension Day

 

One defying gravity?! 

Yes, but no surprise really

The same one - Jesus Christ

Who rose from the dead

So 'ascending' from a mountain is no problem for Him

 

But not to be sidetracked by that actual event

Not to over-emphasise that

But to realise the true reason for the Ascension

Jesus returning to His Father in heaven

Having done all that was in His Father's will for Him on Earth

 

Then promising to send us the Holy Spirit

In a 'few days hence'

To empower us, to enable us

To continue His ministry through us

In our words and deeds

------

Meanwhile, we try, KP, Fido and I

To defy gravity - but don't get far

Fido's the 'Bird-Dog', KP's the 'Bird-Trout'

And I'm the 'Bird-Man'

Do ya hear me, the echoing?

I just jumped off this clifffffff with me wiiiingggssss!

Oof! I just landed.

LOL.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Sensible then silly! I found a modern version of the hymn, but it ruined things, as some updates do. Doh! Here's an original version.
