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.
