My poem for the New Year 2007...
An extract from the Bible, telling of a time when this world we have to endure now has passed away.
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
And the calf and the lion and the fatling together,
And a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall feed;
Their young shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp,
And the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.
They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain;
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD
As the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:6-9
