God and Children

sometimes you must listen to the children,
to the sweet words they lisp and say,
when age old wisdom has lost its lantern,
their innocence can guide your way.

little hearts and minds are of purest gold,
and their thoughts as smooth as their skin,
divine wisdom they utter many fold,
pay attention and listen in!

glory of morning brighter by their smile,
singing of garden birds sweeter,
your happiness can go that extra mile,
homely joys an extra meter!

their love of birds and pets is from their hearts,
they speak to them like they are kin,
they would share food with creatures of all sorts,
you hurt a pet, you commit sin.

our world has a glaze, truth we do not see,
we stumble our way through harsh lies,
child’s world is as God has meant it to be,
His grace abounds, up to the skies!

when you hold your child feel the touch of God,
in their love hear myriad prayers,
you are closest to Him when next to your tod,
in their playful pranks God appears!

Your title says it all, Krish - children are the blessings from God. A lovely poem full of tenderness and affection; excellent rhyming - which I have to admit, I find hard! Thank you for your visit to my page - it's a special delight! I feel excited to share translations from Tagore - I myself was a bit surprised to find one as a featured poem this week. Looks like you are keeping busy nowadays - UK must be so beautiful in Spring and Summer! Best wishes ~ Mala
