A poem for a little boy from movie 'Edges of the Lord' |
I wrote this three years ago after watching a moving movie: Edges Of The Lord . If interested, please find and watch the movie yourself, then you may have a better understanding of what I wrote in this free-verse poem. That was a time of war Germans shot You witnessed that many deaths Tolo You were so young Your father was killed On his funeral You did not cry 'Will dad be back?' You're a naive child, a pure sprit Then you learnt about Jesus You believed, confirmedly That if you suffered all distress yourself All those who have been brought away by death Could be back Alive again You wore the crown of thorns You ran in the heavy rain You tied yourself on the highest place of a tree 'They will be back' You believed firmly That night You got on the train to the Jewish camp You got on the way to heaven 'If I go, they will be back' For the last time You looked out from the window Your eyes were limpid And if one could understand that eye expression Then he would know Those are Jesus' eyes |
