Feed my sheep
Jesus said
When the world was ending
when everything was changing
When the intrigue was thick
And you didn’t know who to trust
Again Jesus said, Feed my sheep
And although the end seemed near
And war seemed to be everywhere
And things were apocalyptic
A word that means opening, uncovering
Things that are opening up
As well as everything that is collapsing
Jesus leaned in close to his beloved ones
and remind them
In a quiet, whisper
That their focus should be
not on…all the other things
He just said,
when they thought he might say something else
He repeated for the third time
As though he really meant it
That this should be what we
all should be doing
—Feed My Sheep

"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
