Heaven In the Face of a Child

The first tear of joy The first smile of life The first words of thought The first prayer to God The glow upon their face The lips that speak at Grace The eyes of crystal glass That see all in God's place Look quickly, watch closely For even in a glance Carry it deeply and never forget Know that there is Heaven in the face of every child.

Thank you very much for the nice comment. Due to the fact I am new to this site I don't know how to find your contest site yet. I did find some and have placed a few poems in them but I'm not sure where yours is. Please advise.
