Dr. Antony Theodore Poems

A child burns her hand on the stove
and a fear of fire begins.
In a tender moment, a hand is slapped
and a fear of love begins.
...

We are born with a centre
free in every sense.
Free of expectations
ambitions and embarrassments.
...

Because you love me,
Lord, I am allowed to live.
Because you love me,
Lord, I want to live
...

I am your mother, loving and holy.
Come and suckle from my breasts
until you are no more thirsty.
From these consoling breasts
...

What gets most
of us in trouble
is how we worry
about things
...

We forget that it is
actually good news
that He is in control
and we are not.
...

Down through centuries
of time, the truth
that is encapsulated
in Psalms, has been
...

Mysteries of life
fascinate me.
Designs and patterns,
colour and forms
...

Mum, you make me smile.
When you kiss the sole of my foot
You make me smile.
When you kiss my little stomach
...

If knowledge was our greatest need
God would have sent to us
a universal genius.
