666. In his childhood

In his childhood
He slept.
Therefore
He does not sleep now.

In his childhood
He smiled.
Therefore
He does not smile now.

In his childhood
He saw
The face of darkness.
Therefore
He now sees the face of Light.

In his childhood
He played
With ignorance and its brood.
Therefore
He now plays with God and His children.
