I Remember.
Tell me mummy
may I play with
baby brother today?
Not yet honey
he's too small
he might fall.
Wait another day.
Comes another day.
Mummy may I play
with baby brother today?
Stll too young babe
maybe another day.
And the next day came
but the answer remained the same.
The little girl felt sad
she had a question to ask
of baby brother Rad.
Oh happy day when mummy says
you may play with him today.
Eyes shining, heart racing
so happy that they could play
for one burning question
in her little heart lay.
Tell me brother mine
she asks looking into his cot
what does God look like?
for I've sure forgot
I've been away awhile you know.
Coo...coo....gurgle ... gurgle.
the baby crooned.
The little girl's smile lit up the room
as she heard the familiar tune.
I remember now she cried
eyes dancing with glee.
I remember His smile.
Those are the words God spoke to me
once upon a time
when I held His hand
and skipped beside Him
through the bluest skies.
