just outside his front door, the

old man could see the whole world
going by. On the road right there
he was looking at packed people
with all their belongings moving on
towards a new life. When he saw her
with her baby, this old man shouted,
“A sword will pierce your heart….”

seeing crowds of people fleeing terror,
violence and war? Does every mother
who brings a child into this world have
that worry stabbing at her heart as well?
