Tender Age Shelters

A question for anyone who is Christian and who thinks what is happening in the US is ok

Think of someone you know aged 0 - 13
This is the tender age
Now imagine them in a cage
Don't worry its not dirty
It's not a mess
They're with other kids
Nothing's amiss
Just a bit of toxic stress.

When Jesus said suffer
the children
Is this what he meant?

Silver

I never asked for the Moon

but it arrived

in a box

with a red heart on top.

Twenty-five years ago

the surprise

was a disco ball

hidden in a bin liner.

Love is

spherical

shiny

still spinning
