Poem: Little Children
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
Sit with Me, My child,
I have something to share;
Come close to Me, daughter,
Come now to hear.
As a little child
I desire you to be;
For in being as such
You will taste eternity.
Be carefree and joyful
In all that you do;
Let the small things
Inspire sweet awe in you.
Find delight in butterflies,
Smile in smelling flowers,
Play in the sunshine,
Dance in rain showers.
Lovingly trust
Every single word I say,
Long to be with Me
Every moment, every day.
For then I will hold you,
I will carry you with love,
I will reveal many gifts
That await you above.
I will open your eyes
To miracles all around;
In the joy of My presence
Every grace will abound.
The secret, My daughter,
Is to be like a little child,
Rich with faith and love,
Ever tender and mild.
The Kingdom of God
Belongs to such as these,
For childlike faith
Does My heart ever please.
Yes, as a little child
I desire you to be;
Come now, My little one,
Let us taste eternity.
And cling to Me, child,
To Me be always near;
With My little children
Eternal joy I share.
