Jesus had a special affinity for the every little child. Without hesitation they responded to his lovely smile. They listened intently to his tender voice. His stories of Our Father made them rejoice. He touched their heads to bless them, For each youngster was a precious gem. You have heard the stories of God's holy son. But perhaps the sweetest of all is the one Where ,children and pets gather around. To learn of love, hope and peace abound. Because of the teacher who made them know. Of God's love for all that sets them aglow. Pray God when the final chapter is written anew. All of mankind will see God the way the children do. Then He will smile, bow his head and bless us all. For listening, learning and heeding his call. © Carol G Oliver
