The Reason

The Reason I heard some children laughing and a church bell that was ringing. I put my eye up to the hole and I saw people singing. There were angels waiting there and saints all in a row. I began to understand some things I didn't know. I heard the voice of tragedy and understood it's reasons. I saw things die and then be born with the changing of the seasons. I saw the poor and hungry fed the wars all reached an end. The world was all at peace again everyone was now a friend. The thing I did not recognize, and I still don't understand. The hole that I was looking through was the hole in Jesus hand. Edwin C Hofert
