Child-like Faith
by louis gander You spanked me when I stole or lied, yet always hugged me when I cried. When I didn't know just what to do, I trusted you to see me though. I felt so safe from all the crime, as you helped me in your spare time. Remember visits? Grandma's house - when I spilt Kool-aid on her blouse? Remember the circus and the clowns; Elephants, tigers all the sounds? I love all the animals in our zoo, but most of all mommy, I love you. Last year, mom, when I was seven, You spoke of Jesus - God in Heaven. Hold my hand mommy. It's dark tonight; as God is holding my other one tight. Your eyes say "I won't make it through," but I know that Jesus loves me too. You're worried, mommy, but please don't be - for I see Jesus reaching down for me. I see big scars in the palms of his hands. He must have worked hard on Heaven's plans. Forgive me mommy when I wasn't good, because Jesus did. He understood. 2008 louis gander - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Copyright 2021 by louis gander. Poetry for sermons, story poems and more...
