So who is this ‘David’ I talk about?
With a twinkle in my eye and a smile on my lips Who is this man that’s made such an impression? Let me give you some tips. He’s the man, who, at every sermon Told a joke that had us waiting in anticipation Not only for the humour, but to witness how, yet again, He had weaved the joke in to the sermon message; such creation! He’s the man who talks of his family, his friends, his childhood With love and gratitude. Yet when describing his role in all these stories Gives himself no latitude. He’s the man that saw through the carefully veiled words Prior to my marriage And true to his calling, advised with a targeted focus To pre-empt and prevent damage. He’s the man who places himself at no better than anyone else Who openly conveys his human frailty And by so doing, unwittingly conveys to us all That continuous improvement is a reality. This is the man who turned me around From seeing church as a place where ‘you’re told’ To realising, through his acceptance That it is the place to be at peace, reflect, and find your soul. This is the man I knew I could count on To be truthful, frank and take me in When I needed to trust through my fractured shock And learn that putting yourself first was not a sin!
