Foster Father Unsurpassed
Spouse of the Holy Spirit’s chosen Bride,
With God Almighty in most close rapport
For whom his toil and labour did provide.
He did support his loved ones by his sweat.
That glistened on his high and noble brow.
As fathers toil so often here below.
In the Traditions, nor New Covenant
Enduring burdens on his shoulders laid,
In contemplation deep and reverent.
Commands of messengers from God on high,
As faithful guide to spouse and foster son.
In love’s obedience that asks no why.
Taught Him to firmly walk on grit and sod,
And helped Him learn to deeply understand,
The Psalms and Prophets of the Word of God.
Who rules the hearts, the heavens and the earth,.
The guardian of Him that rules supreme,
The Lord Creator of the Universe.
The cave, the angels, shepherds and the flight
To Egypt and the angel’s guarantee
That cruel Herod finally had died
Not knowing what would be His destiny,
Trusting in God alone,- the Lord over Fate,
But overwhelmed and awed by mystery.
Explained the tools and various kinds of wood,
To implement the craft with loving care,
How woods were planed, or chiseled, sawed or glued.
Not holding himself worthy to be wed
To the Messiah’s mother, - mystery
And privilege for him by far to great.
A life in humble service unsurpassed,.
Although he knew not what the Lord had planned.
He lived by faith alone and hope and trust..
Considering worldly things and goals for naught,
The foster father, spouse and foster son
Will naught but to fulfill the Will of God.
The Home of the most Holy Family,
To fructify and bless the Universe.
And throb and pulse throughout eternity.
