Analysis of No, not more trouble.
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
Hold on now
Shut down the flutters
And wringing hands.
Didn’t you tunnel through
With others.
Seemingly beyond you.
Get hooked up with God better.
Acquire audacity, currency.
Stash away wisdom
Of a Heavenly sort
To help others.
The very fact of
Your smiling yesterday
A testimony to others
Who need hope and
A Friend present?
A supporting Shoulder?
A Pathfinder
Even without words.
