As a Child
by Lewis E. Thomas A child comes forth in innocence From the very start No stain or unclean thing Yet written upon their heart. Like an Angels garment Their heart is of purest white Their eyes are shinning brightly With God's holy light. We can see the holiness of God When we look into their face Yet with no knowledge of sin To slow them in life's race. Their innocence is so precious We hate to watch them grow Because innocence slips away Though we try to stop it so. God commands us to teach them As their little footsteps trod To write upon their hearts All the things of God. God says that we must all Become humble just like them If we want to go to Heaven And sing those holy hymns. Lewis E. Thomas 12/13/03 ... Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
