Poetry Corner


The following poem has been sent in by Joan and Ernest Duffield, members of our 9.15am congregation, who have recently celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary

It was printed in ‘Activated’ a Christian magazine which Joan and Ernest get monthly from “The Family” in India.   “The Family” is an international Christian organisation working worldwide in Europe, Africa, India, the Philippines, Australia and the USA.   It built orphanages after the tsunami and provides help at times of disasters such as earthquakes and floods.   Joan and Ernest’s daughter, her husband and 4 children all work in India amongst the local people to alleviate the many problems there.   All Saints’ Outreach has, in the past, donated to the work in India.

 

Some are black some are white,

Some are wrong and some are right,

Some get rich and some stay poor,

Some make peace and some make war.

 

Some are yellow, some are brown,

Some are up and some are down,

Some go far, some fall behind,

Some are mean and some are kind.

 

Some are reds and some are greens,

Some stay quiet, some make scenes,

Some say yes and some say no,

Some will tell you where to go.

 

But underneath our different skin,

The same heart beats, deep within,

For brothers, sisters all are we,

Meant to live in harmony.
