Brethren,
Motion begins for a child:
From seating down to crawling
A few staggering steps then follow
But soon, the child is perfectly walking.
Later on, you see the child running
Occasionally, he may leap
(He) may even make a go at high jumping
Wonder what his dream is as he looks up:
Is he dreaming of going high?
Developing wings as the birds?
So he too can fly in the sky
Soaring as eagles far and wide.
Have you ever dreamt of flying?
Going high, very high, in life?
When, O beloved, did you stop dreaming?
Could it be just before your time was ripe?
May we decree to you right now:
Your restoration will begin to flow
Even if it starts in trickles somehow
It will rapidly increase to overflow
May you stop crawling
Move to fast, very fast, walking
Soon begin to run, sprinting
Take off into the sky, like a plane flying
All you have lost may you regain
Double, triple and more for your trouble
Till abundance becomes your portion, your gain
As you serve the One whose Name is Wonderful
Between two days, there must be a light
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh
Your night is very far spent
Your morning of joy is here at last.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
