"Your Son's Here!" He watched his father come home exhausted every night.  He watched him fall asleep on the couch.  Every morning early, the boy watched his father get ready for work again.  This father shaved his face with a straight razor then drank a half pint of gin.
   “What do you think of that?” he said.  I asked him, “What do you think of that?”  He said, “My daddy never missed a day’s work; his days were long and rough.  He didn’t complain.  Why?  Because he had a job.  There was food on the table every day.  Maybe that drink helped him make it through.  I never doubted his reliability.”
   A new, fresh, literal translation of John's Prolog, and a Scriptural message about reliability in Fatherhood and Sonship. Includes the poem, "The Beautiful Picture of Yah and His Son."
