And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like
little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "
Matthew 18:1-5, The Bible
I come to the Lord as a child and he holds me in a lovely embrace, I feel
his love and caress upon my hair, his touch on my cheek, he wipes away
my tears. Though, I am grown now I am still his child. Since I was young
God and his son Jesus has been my strength and anchors. Oh, whenever, I
have known fear, or grief, or doubt, they are beside me holding my hand.
When I was deathly sick they were there, and when I buried my loved ones,
they held me close. I am never, ever, ever alone in this world, and I am not
afraid of death because I know they will be waiting to greet me at that gold
Heavenly gate and it will be my turn to give an embrace ...
at heavens gold gate
all my beloved and pets *
souls like stars sparkling
