Your Lips Tight,Sadness Written In Your Eyes. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Your Lips Tight,Sadness Written In Your Eyes.

Rating: 5.0


Little one may Jesus be with you!

At this age when rich children
play about with expensive toys
laughing innocently
you are here with a load.

Holding so tight your hands
carrying on your back
a heavy basket
your lips tight
sadness written in your eyes.

Little one, may Jesus be with you.

I ask my conscience
what did you do for them
so that they may not cry? ? ? ?

tiny aged children should play and make merry, instead of this holding spade in hand and heavy basket on back is really painful. You have so touchingly inscribed this poem. You love towards children is immeasurable. Brilliant work.10
