| ANOTHERS SORROW
Can I see anothers woe, And not be in sorrow too. Can I see anothers grief, And not seek for kind relief. Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrows share, Can a father see his child, Weep, nor be with sorrow fill'd. Can a mother sit and hear, An infant groan an infant fear - No no never can it be. Never never can it be. And can he who smiles on all Hear the wren with sorrows small, Hear the small birds grief & care Hear the woes that infants bear - And not sit beside the nest Pouring pity in their breast, And not sit the cradle near Weeping tear on infants tear. |
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
It is my belief that the world we live in is poorer for the loss of the 108 million people killed as a result of war in this century. But how much poorer? I don't know any of these victims, my family have been fortunate. But as James Stewert discovers in It's a Wonderful Life, each individual reaches out throughout their life to others, who in turn touch others. So tonight I concentrate on the individuals who make up that astronomical figure. Christopher Ivey - May 1997 |
