Title: DUST TO DUST, a child's viewpoint
Post by PerryA on Dec 18^th, 2004, 4:08pm

* * * DUST TO DUST* * *
Perry A. Dautreuil

A little boy sat quietly one Sunday,
alone in his bedroom
Thinking about the sermon he heard,
about 'Salvation or Doom.'

He thought about those haunting words
he had just learned
"...from dust we have come, and to dust
we shall return..."

These words made him wonder, finding clarity
became his main task.
But who could have the answers, whom
could he ask.

So he asked his Mother, "are we dust before we're
born and dust after we die?"
The Mother simply answered "yes." And after a pause
asked him "...but, why?"

She waited for his answer, remaining calm, serene and
almost all-knowing.
"Because, there's somebody under my bed, and I want
to know if he's coming or going."
