“The Fixer-Upper” (#C of E)
A “fixer-upper” – that’s your way
To organize from day to day
The “goals” of others are the frame;
Facilitate – equip – the same –As in that book from family trip
“Solve problems” if it’s better fit
Than “setting goals” – that's different stance –
“Toolmaker” role describes your dance.First round, “invention” as a kid,
From brick-a-brack – red case with lid,
Ingredients of battery,
And wires and things – as tool for thee.Next round was camping – making trails
And “alter fire”, with kettle, pails
Made from tin cans, a way to camp
In wilderness – quite warm, not damp.Photography came next as tool
To win at Hobby-show in school –
“Most promising in future life”;
That part was right when things got tight.Then Ivan’s kid with quip that day –
“If easier, he’ll find a way”;
That hit me hard, “perceiver” he;
Impactful word from You to me.Then Parachute, the book by Boles –
“Toolmaker for professionals,
To ease their lot”, best role for me,
Though guru cautioned I should be –Out in the trenches, here, up north;
The States has bigger base, of course,
So you needs speak from front-lines here,
If you’ll be heard, as you’ll appear –To know the score; that’s how it’s done;
So find a trade, go have some fun,
And let your tools (professional)
Emerge, and be exceptional.Okay Holy Spirit thanks for this.
