All this was You - the head of our world!
You are humiliating and uplifting,
but it is - the Light's power of God.
and You develope us like children.
The whole world - is just the game of Christ,
in merry moments as well as sad,
and in the heavy moments of the Cross
Father deserves only applause!
***
Все это - Ты, руководитель мира!
ты возвышаешь, унижаешь,
но это - Света благостная сила.
Ты как детей нас развиваешь.
Весь этот мир - игра Христа
В веселые и грустные моменты,
И в трудные мгновения Креста
Отец заслуживает лишь аплодисменты!

For a poem called THE GAME OF CHRIST it's appropriate the last line refers to APPLAUSE, because we are applauding a Master of Ceremonies in God the Father. In the Gospels Jesus always defers to the Father. The Game has both MERRY MOMENTS and HEAVY MOMENTS, that sums up our fate: the interchange of merry and heavy, with neither one eliminating the other. YOU DEVEOP US LIKE CHILDREN - when do we ever grow up?
