The Monster and Mary
“Keep your little monster away from my Mary!” Mary’s mom lovingly said
“If you will not watch that sly little devil, someone just might end up dead!”
Monster’s mom attempted a smile as she mumbled a painful thank you
While Mary’s own mother whirled ‘round in a huff and left without further adieu
The lesson that morning from Sunday School hour was for such occasions as this
To recognize need others’ burdens to bear so as not opportunity miss
In contrast one Father all perfect in love decided to spare not His son
But sent him a sheep to live among wolves knowing exactly just what would be done
Though such an example has clearly been given and taught in our own Sunday School
It seems that the lesson has failed to persuade us to walk in the same golden rule
For our love has limits and we’re ready to fight when protecting those children our own
And Monster’s mother like hundreds of others must still fight their battle alone
So next time when your little innocent angel is trampled by Monster again
Remember the Father whose Son we all slaughtered so we can become just like Him
