God is serious

About being the father, the parent,

The adult in our relationship;

We should be serious

About being the child.

Christ did not permit

His knowledge of His divinity

To interfere with

His dependence on or

His resignation to

The Father.

Neither should we permit

Any foolish, prideful,

Human knowledge which

We might have attained

To interfere with our own

Dependence and resignation.

We must never get lost

In our adulthood or

In our independence or

In our sense of responsibility

Before men.

We must remain a child

Before our Almighty, Good Creator

Above all things, always.
