God's Gift

Precious children in my care
laugh and frolic, unaware
life will not forever be
simple, fun, and trouble-free.

Some day they’ll be grown and more
cognizant of what’s in store.
Still, I think they’ll surely need
my advice. Perhaps they’ll heed!

Indeed they are precious, Janice. And somehow they find their way--though we all worry. Well said!
