Little Francis


He was born to nobility.
He gave it up for simplicity.
He'd answer to the voice of greed.
"God's love is all I'll ever need".

He didn't use philosophy.
He hadn't heard of ecology.
He didn't preach theology.
He simply lived God's love.

He listened to the mountains; the valleys too.
He listened to the water and sky so blue.
He loved to listen to the turtle doves.
They told him stories about God's love.

He often talked to Mother Earth,
thanking her for giving birth.
The sun, moon and starts above,
sand him their songs about God's love.

He never thought he was superior.
He saw no creature as inferior.
Humans, flowers, birds and trees; all belong to God's family.

We can pray for equality.
We can strive for harmony.
We can apply technology,
but we are nothing without God's love.
