Funny Bones:
Them bones, Them bones-
are some good bones
for living to the full;
Head bone for thinking well
on all that is
and how and why
it is.
Back bone for Will,
decisions made
and followed through
regardless
if they but be right:-
the bone of courage
kept.
Knee bone for daily going to prayer,
time spent
alone
-not ever so, in truth-
with God:
time offered, with,
by him, to him.
And then
that other bone,
the Funny Bone,
that comes from Resurrection-
“We have won !”:-
we laugh a lot,
most at ourselves,-
for He is Lord of all,-
and He has Won! Well done!
