Look

Look

I know the children

And I know the children die

It happens every day

All the time

In real fires and in our strategies

Denying food

Denying safety

Denying home

Do we turn away to say

Not mine

Or do we look at it

To say

All ours

“All ours” of course. Although sadly many do not think this way. Hope you are well Christopher that you had a great Easter. I’m glad to see you occasionally post 🙂

  Thanks, Amanda, and you’re right. I’ve not been doing so well lately. Lots of pain and other challenges.
  
  I hope you are really well!

    I’m so sorry Christopher, I pray that God will take away your pain and you will feel better. I’m sorry for your suffering my friend. You still write beautiful and didactic poetry 🙂
