Missions Of Love. Poem by Fay Slimm
Missions Of Love.
God bless their invincible smiles, endorsing
Compassionate vigour for drying such
Torrents of miserable tears, which coursing
Down young frightened faces, make hands clutch
Anything mercifully shown by this Force
Of consoling care. Emotive appeals
Pour, this time of the year through festive doors,
Begging easement for victims suffering ordeals.
Unconquerable these. Disarming despair
With brave love, finding lost lambs everywhere
They find wars. Tenderness shown to the least
Of humanity's needy, broad-shouldered care
Takes such Goliath hearts into dark streets
Where lurks distress, their strong soothing arms
Wrap around wounded hearts, curative balms
Of unselfish lives gives serious pause
For thought, that they need support for the cause.
Tribute to the many volunteers who devote time and effort
to Children In Need.
Thanks for reminding us that there are good and generous people in the world but why must these issues always be left to the good graces of charity? The question is rhetorical, of course. The answer lies in the equation; Greed outweighs need.
Fay........ .....Finding lost lambs everywhere...... is a lovely phrase central to this poem and subject. Difficult balance to get right......less sugar....not too sweet......getting the Goldilocks point........just right. Like writing about Motherhood.....you can't be against it.........but you can be too sweetly for it. Thanks Martin
