From my Childhood.

One day there was a very loud knock on the Door to Heaven.God was in his Throne-room and yelled out.

" Jesus! ... will you see who is knocking on the Door of Heaven Please?

'Jesus flung open the Door and gasped in horror as there standing before him on clouds as far as his eye could see were thousands of Children of all ages from every Nation on earth.
Laid within the outstretched arms of many were the tiniest of babies." "

"Children !Children!" said Jesus,

" What are you doing here?.
Go! Back ! Go back! quickly you must go back to Earth .
You cannot enter here .You are far too young"

.A Boy around the age of ten years held up a baby and stepped forward

.'We don't want to go back Jesus .Please! Please! can we come into Heaven?"

Jesus answered in a haltering voice as tears flowed down his face at the picture before him

."No! No! you must! go back ,you are far too! young to come in here.You must go back and nourish mankind's garden with Love Laughter and Peace throughout your lives.".

"But! there is no Love Laughter and Peace Jesus. Men beat! us. They use our bodies for things of cruelty. They sell our flesh in the market places and treat us as slaves".

Then a little girl cried ,"Please! Jesus! let us come in .Men tie us to machines and make us work until our fingers bleed".

And another spoke.

"They steal the grain from our crops.We have no food to eat. I died in pain from starvation.
"And another
,"Our Villages are raided by men with guns who kill us with bombs. They don't care about Children. Please ! don't send us back Jesus".

And so the complaints were laid upon the Doorstep of Heaven for hour upon hour.
Jesus finally turned his distraught and saddened face into the Door way and cried,
"Father! Father! Come quickly. Come quickly to the Door."

God answered in an angry voice that struck thunder to the skies as he pushed his throne aside and came forth to the Doorway.
"I have been listening my Son"
.He stood with his hands on hips and faced the throng of children before the Golden Door.

"Is this true Children that Men do these things to you?
Is there War Hate Starvation Cruelty and no Love or Peace upon the Earth again?"
The Children cried out."Yes! God ! What we tell you is ALL! true".

"But you must go back and teach your Mothers and Fathers to love each other. You are My gift to them "
Then the Children sat down and cried mercifully.

'We do not want to go back. Our bodies ache ..our bellies are empty We die of the cold on lonely nights .Our hearts have no Love Laughter or Peace to show Mankind God .We are already Old"

.The Anger grew within God.

He peered down upon Earth from East to West North and South and as he did the Oceans rose and the Mountains rolled shaking the earth in a mighty roar For seven days and nights thus it was so as God cleansed the earth of all purveyors of greed lust hate and evil.Then he turned to the children and said with a sigh
."Now! Now! You may return to the Earth and fill your days with Love Laughter and Peace".

But in fear the Boy again replied.'We do not wish to go back God"

."Then! " said God, "I shall send you back as Birds and you shall sing and play in the Fields and Forests, bath in the streams and nest along the River-banks,powder you Feathers in Dust and follow all the Seasons across the Earth so that you shall never be cold or hungry again .You will Herald in the Rising Sun with a full choir and the Moon will smile upon you nest and branch.

Your wings will be strong as those of Angels so that you may fly away from any danger.

Every Bird on Earth will carry the Living Spirit of a Child who has died at the hands of Man's Cruelty Greed Lust Hate and War. And henceforth the Earth will mourn the absence and the sound of Children until Mankind learns once more from The Birds how to live in Peace Laughter and and work in The Garden as Brothers."

"It is good to feed they Birds..they are the living Spirits of Our Children".
