Tale Of Two Worlds - Easter Prayer Poem by Panmelys

Throw out all rules: defy all style:
Though know their techiniques as being worthwhile -
Learning to walk as a child's first effort
Wearing a smile of delight: letting go of support -
Enlight'ning hearts of onlookers, who watch
At the child's surprise; on feeling hands free -
Flying as birds above; or up in a tree -
Out of reach: as little feet scamper to catch
At long last; those wobbly creatures, running fast!

World 1

Ah, how sweet to be a child, so proud
Achieving each small step on solid ground
Surrounded by love and learning: secure -
Safely held in arms unafraid and sure.

World 11

Ah, how sad, not to grow up surrounded
By happy memories of feeling protected
Instead, held in trembling arms of terror -
Awake, afraid of blasts: scenes of horror!

Let us do our best to help all suff'ring children!
