THE LAST BUS
I always take  the third bus, albeit am an early bird
For I believe strongly, the early bird catches the worm
The tardiness by others to get ready to go
Makes me think that early worm gets caught.

Somehow I take the third  sure would prefer the first
Still get so restless  cant stand delays anymore
Today took the fourth bus, and  was so upset
Words cannot express, but happy to get in, in time.

You may wonder why this anxiety to get into bus
Are there not any more buses, or other ways of travel
You may suggest a car instead, much more comfy
Much more private, right on time every time.

'tis not an ordinary bus, 'tis the Mass of Our Lord
Plying every day for us, now you must have got me.

I make it a point not to miss, for He calls me unfailingly
I work on every week day, so am sure of taking Sunday bus
In every trip, totaling four, the bus is mostly empty
May be 'coz it is SUNDAY, or is "NOT OBLIGATORY" .

I cant believe this nor do I subscribe
Have you missed - to breath or to clothe?
He is the breathe, He is the Soul
He is  the cloth, to cover our sins
He is the King, He is the Son
He transcends us, from here to eternity.

Take the opportunity to go by the bus
Treat it as a vacation spare a few minutes
Feel Him in the acts, taste Him in the songs
Cry out for His sufferings, experience His blessings.

Sing his praises, loud and clear
Fill you heart, with mirth and cheer
Exchange Peace, with near and dear
Pray that it be so, forever and ever.
Thank him for the mercy, thank him for the graces
Thank him for everything, for wishes asked and unasked.

Head of Family

Is he a guest on every Sunday
Taking a place of honor
Keeping us happy
till he is here?

NO not at all, he ain’t a guest
He is with us here forever
We are happy to have him always
He is here to guide us through .

He is the head of our family. 

I am with you always, even unto the end of
the world (Mathew 28:20)
