Father, son, spirit

The father conceives his son
the son grows with his father
the spirit allows the heritage
Father, son, spirit. The father says sweet things to his son
the son is a rosebud to his father
the spirit remembers the instant of conception
Spirit, father, son. The father works, gladly
the son at school, learns much
the spirit, lovingly, joins them
Son, father, spirit The son makes his father, a good father
the union of father and son,
is the work of the spirit of love
Spirit, son, father.

Father Boy

Oh Father Boy, Oh Father Boy
You didn’t see the signs
You didn’t hear a thing did you
Oh Father Boy, my dear
You didn’t see, you didn’t look, you didn’t listen either
You didn’t try to understand
You didn’t take the time
You weren’t a Father, Father Boy, you weren’t a Father, Father.

Oh Father Boy, Father Boy
When a Father has a Boy
To be a Father, Father see
You have to see the Boy
The Boy inside the Father
And the Father in the Boy
But Father Boy, Oh Father Boy
You just didn’t pay attention
For a Boy to be a Father, Father
He cannot be a Father Boy.

Bible in Poetry: Gospel of St. Matthew (Chapter 1)

The genealogy of Christ
Jesus, the Son of David King,
The son of Father Abraham: -

Abraham was Isaac’s father,
Isaac was Jacob’s own father,
Jacob was Judah’s own father.
Judah- Perez, Zerah’s father,
Tamar was their mother,
Perez became Hezron’s father,

And Hezron was Ram’s father,
Ram was Amminidab’s father,
Amminidab, Nakshon’s father,
And Nakshon was Salmon’s father,
And Salmon, Boaz’s father,
And Rahab, Boaz’s mother.

Boaz became Obed’s father,
And Ruth, Obed’s mother,
Obed became Jesse’s father,
Jesse was King David’s father,
David was Solomon’s father,
And Bathsheba was his mother
Who was wife of Uriah!

Solomon, Reheboam’s father,
Reheboam, Abijah’s father,
Abijah was Asaph’s father,
Asaph, Jehoshaphat’s father,
Jehoshaphat, Joram’s father,
Joram was Uzziah’s father,
Uzziah was Jotham’s father,

Jotham was Ahaz’s father,
Ahaz, Hezekiah’s father,
Hezekiah, Manasseh’s father,
Manasseh was Amos’ father,
Amos was Josiah’s father,
Josiah, Jechoniah’s father,
During the time of Babylon’s exile.

After the Babylonian exile: -
Jechoniah, Shealtiel’s father,
Shealtiel, Zerubbabel’s father,
Zerubbabel, Abiud’s father,
Abiud, Eliakim’s father,
Eliakim was Azor’s father,
Azor became Zadok’s father,
Zadok became Achim’s father,

Achim became Eliud’s father,
Eliud, Eleazar’s father,
Eleazar was Matthan’s father,
Matthan became Jacob’s father,
Jacob became Joseph’s father,
And Joseph was Mary’s husband,
Of Mary was born Jesus Christ,
Who was called also Messiah.

From Abraham to David were
Fourteen generations total;
From David to Babylonian exile,
Fourteen generations total;
From Babylonian exile to Messiah,
Fourteen generations total.

And this was how Jesus was born:
His mother Mary was betrothed
To Joseph, who was carpenter
Before they lived together then,
Mary was found to be pregnant
By the Holy Spirit’s power.

Since Joseph was a righteous man,
He didn’t wish to expose her shame,
Decided to divorce quietly.

But then, an angel of the Lord
Appeared to Joseph in a dream,
And said, ‘Son of David, Joseph,
Don’t fear to take Mary as wife;
The child that’s in her womb conceived,
Is through the Holy Spirit’s power! ’

‘She’ll bear a son, call him Jesus,
He’ll save his people from their sins.’

All this took place to fulfill what
The Lord had said through the prophet:
‘Behold, a virgin shall be with child,
And bear a son named Emmanuel,
Which means ‘in whom God is with us.’

So, Joseph woke and did as per
The Angel of the Lord’s commands,
And took wife Mary to his home.
He had no relations with her,
Till she bore son, infant Jesus!

Father & Son

There is the family photograph
That is your father’s face,
There is your father’s father
Grey-gathering years apace;
The son, bright-eyed in the morning,
The father, lined and drawn,
The son became the father
On the day that you were born.

We’ve all set out on the highway
Our fathers wished us well,
The sons became the fathers
In the same distinctive spell;
The road of all beginnings
Is all there is to lend,
But many a twist, and many a turn
Has marred us at the end.

He was my father’s father,
I am my father’s son,
We’ve travelled as far, and farther
Than our father’s years have run;
The twists and turns of fortune
Mean nothing, lost or won,
But the love of a father’s father,
And the love of a father’s son.
