Our little lives are ordinary she said
Our little lives are ordinary and sad
I find in that a cause for true rejoicing
It keeps us level saves us from the bad
Sun and rain fall on all alike
No favourites with the Lord I think you’ll find
Though many seem to prosper and others fall away
The Lord has eyes for everyone and kind
The Lord who promised paradise from a cross
Suffered persecution to the end
And this world is not the measure of our lives
The risen Lord is beside you a true friend

+ Lucy Mangan in the Guardian, has written a fine piece on the interview with Prince Harry, and ends her reflection commenting on how all our lives, our little lives are ordinary and sad. They are many other things too, but ordinary and sad are prominent characteristics, and I think, very helpful in shaping us into well -rounded human beings with tender feelings for others.
