Life and faith seem to come
with mixed messages
My faith in the hereafter is never wavering
even though in life I have questions
Where is the line to be marked
between children who die and who live
Sometimes just being born
is a death sentence
But that can also be said
for the rest of us

for even now there are angels in heaven
bearing savage weapons
And they have no choice
on whom they are to use them

Wow potent write here. Particularly about the angels with weapons.

Having just spent this weekend praying for the survival of a 6 yr old undergoing brain surgery, this is a pretty special poem... He survived - and is well - thankfully...

..and thanks for your ever introspective words, JB..
