Where do you come from?
Pilate asked of Jesus
It is a wonderful question
Our origin says so much
I do not begin with me
My origins go back
Deep into the mists of time
No heritage I lack
Most especially family
My father and my mother
I’ve known those people all my life
They truly were life giver
I feel the warmth of mother’s love
I know my father’s power
His towering strength of right and wrong
Even in this hour
The break up of our family life
A pain so many suffer
Important then our love to share
Embracing sister brother

+ The sexual revolution of the 1960s has not brought joy to people. Rather it has broken down healthy relationships in favour of the selfish pursuit of pleasure. The Pill never solved a problem. It created more. Loneliness is now endemic among us.
I have listened with great approval these past days to Mary Eberstadt, to Louise Perry and to Julie Bindel.
