WELCOME

“Is there anybody there?”
Cried the child in the dark.
“I am cold and I hurt”
Nobody answered. Nobody came.
“Is there anybody there?”
Cried the child again.
“I am here” came a voice.
“I am cold and I hurt”
Cried the child again.
“You are newly come,
It will soon pass”
The darkness lifted,
The sun shone warm.
“I am not cold,
And I don’t hurt anymore”
“I told you” replied the voice,
“Welcome to Paradise”.
