God's Child

A child is a precious gift
sent from heaven above,
entrusted to us by God, our Father,
to nourish with His tender love.

But, should a little one lose his way
and wander from the fold,
Jesus's love will be there to bring him back,
His arms to embrace and hold.

Nothing is closer to the truth. You have stated it so well in just four very descriptive lines.
