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!

(following a conversation with Fr. John Phelps, C.Ss.R. from Chicago, re Fr. Joe Dustin C.Ss.R. “the Banjo Priest”)
