Leseren som tipset meg om forrige post, vekket ogs\u00e5 min interesse for et dikt som ble skrevet til samme katolske skoleprest<\/a> (han er p\u00e5 min alder og han er ogs\u00e5 gift). En elev hadde skrevet et dikt til ham og bedt ham om \u00e5 ikke pr\u00f8ve \u00e5 v\u00e6re ‘cool’.<\/p>\n

Av og til f\u00f8ler man en forventning eller et press fra personer i menigheten om \u00e5 v\u00e6re ‘cool’; sannsynligvis mest fra voksne som mener at slikt liker de unge – og man f\u00f8ler seg litt mislykket n\u00e5r man ikke kan klare det. (Men for meg er det selvsagt for seint \u00e5 tenke p\u00e5 slike ting. Det eneste gangen jeg var en skikkelig ‘cool’ ungdomsprest, var da jeg var feltprest og tesing-dirigent i Kirkenes – skole\u00e5ret 1982-83. Det er lenge siden!)<\/i> Her er diktet:<\/p>\n

A Student\u2019s Plea<\/p>\n

No, no, Father, please don\u2019t toss the mike like a DJ when you preach. Please don\u2019t be cool.
\nPlease don\u2019t ride a Harley motorbike when you come to school.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wear red cowboy boots for Pentecost, and tell dumb jokes to be our pal. Please don\u2019t \u2018high five\u2019,
\nsay, \u201cSweet!\u201d \u201cAwwsome!\u201d \u201cYou suck!\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re toast!\u201d or teach us how to jive.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sing along to the latest pop band; you don\u2019t need to be hip and up to date,
\nor come to our parties with a drink in your hand, trying to relate.<\/p>\n

Play it straight. Say the black and do the red. Refrain from politics and rainbow pins.
\nPray for all of us, the living and the dead, and listen to our sins.<\/p>\n

We want you to keep the faith, you see, but keep it as it was. We want it old.
\nWe want it to be waiting there when we come in from the cold.<\/p>\n

We want you to be our Father, not our mate. We want a solid rock; so when we roam,
\nwe know you’ll be there, waiting at the gate, to welcome us home<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
