TO WEAN AND NOURISH

To wean and nourish are two acts of faith
To use to keep each other strong.
Not boasting of our gifts,
Lest we threaten those now finding theirs,
Or harm them with our pride that holds
them down.
God will frown on acts that put us high.
Let Jesus be the brighter star who brings
Heads round to gaze and wonder.
And let God say the final truth,
For we so dimly see that thankful is
The grandest way that we should be.
