little hands
That create
Make
Then remake
Little hands
Build up
Tear down
Little hands
That belong to a little child
Innocence
Joy
Love
Little hands that belong to a little child
That loves with their whole tiny being
Little hands that grab on to my knees
Pulling close to me
I look into those tiny eyes
With a love reciprocated what’s cast on to me.
Dear Jesus
You knew.
That miles and miles from home
I would be here
With these tiny hands
These tiny wonders
That hold so much of the Father’s heart.
They sing songs about Jesus,
Pray prayers of thanksgiving,
Speak words from The Word
As they dance around me
Without a care in the world.
Dear Jesus,
This is what you meant
When you spoke long ago
Let the little children come
Don’t hinder
For if you have faith as this child
You will receive the Kingdom of God.*
Jesus,
Help me to see
The kingdom, this world
As you made these kids to see.
Help me to be
These three:
Love, joy, peace.
For you said that the greatest of these is love.*
*Matthew 19:14
*1 Corinthians 13:13
