Figured it’s past time I got around to posting it so this was a poem meant for Easter… posted in May but it’s still relevant even if the day it was meant for passed a while ago already. Some religious themes but a pretty general message.   \n  \nOriginal post, on Bluesky: [https://bsky.app/profile/fluxwerebear8.bsky.social/post/3lo7js77xqs2n](https://bsky.app/profile/fluxwerebear8.bsky.social/post/3lo7js77xqs2n)","content":"There's Still Space For Lambs\n\n \n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;By: A.X.
