Thou Art Going To Do Practical! Poem by MBJ Pancras

Born of God in Jesus Christ thou art a Child of innocence,
Thou crawled in the arms of thy mother
And was fed by her the love from her,
Thou cried intermittently and smiled frequently,
And he visited thee with fatherly tenderness,
And the Good Samaritan carried thee in his arms
And thou grew with whistles and cries;
Yet ever by the Care of the Father in Him.

Thou learnt alphabet and music in inches in each class,
All in thy way thou hast learnt the principles of life,
Thou hast been nurtured by thy mother,
Thou hast grown to see what life is,
Thou learnt numbers and shapes besides thy reading,
Each of thy utterance hath been tuneful,
Thou watched Nature and learnt Science,
And each of thy steps hath spoken meaning.

Thou hast seen Einstein in his Theory of Relativity,
And Galileo with his disciples travelled ‘cross thy life,
And thou hast learnt what Science is with its velocity,
And thou hast been taught Physics.
Thou hast handled roots and stems of plants,
And thy study with them taught thee Biology.
Thou hast touched beakers and chemicals,
And thou hast learnt what Chemistry is.





2

Thou hast become a girl of fifteen of age,
And thou hast reached the first step of goal,
Yea, Thou art at the line of Science Practical,
Thou shalt measure the weight of Physics,
And thou shalt weigh Chemistry with chemicals,
And thou shalt dissect Biology with root and heart.
Today thou shalt do thy First Practical,
And Thou shalt be blessed by HIM the Lord.
