CENTRE

Physicists say the atom

Comprises a nucleus

Surrounded by electrons

Perpetually gyrating,

Minus attracted by plus.

And biologists aver

A nucleus is the germ

Of even the smallest cell  

Each part derives from its genes

In structure, function and health.

Astronomers have revealed

A system thirled to the sun

Where planets and comets wheel,

Faster as they are nearer,

As attracted by its bulk.

I also need a centre

To attract my wandering,

Concentrate my endeavour,

Structure me, forge me newly

And, warming me, make me live.

What ideology can

Pivot my life? What weltgeist

Can guide me? None. But one Man

Is able and willing. I

Cling to my Lord Jesus Christ.
