Like a Child
Like a child…
Her smile was wide
Lifting to the sky
Graceful and light
Gentle as the heart
Colored with love
Like a child…
Her kiss was tender
Touching the spirit
With kindness so soft
Silent as the forest
Who only knows to hope
Like a child…
Her joy came from inside
Breathed from the soul
Pure and filled with promise
Dreaming of the moment
When sun falls on the yearning
Like a child…
Her mind was always inspired
Alive with songs and poems
Willing to give from within
Affection and devotion
Passionate prayers of praise
Like a child…
Her feelings worn on her sleeve
Echoing grace and goodwill
Peppered with generosity
Lingering on the heart who sees
She’s dancing with life’s wonders
Like a child…
Her music comes from secret thoughts
Sparked by an imagination awash
In beauty, mercy and desires
Dancing on the flames of faith
Giving out the sweetest peace
Like a child…
Her Creator, her maker
The Author who wrote her story
In poetry and psalms
Reminds her that her life, her being
Her very existence – are gifts
And like a child…
She accepts the gift of this life
With faith that she is alive
Because He lived and died
Then rose again to give to her
The chance to become His child
I’m so thankful that He’s alive
And, like a child… I accept Him
The One who gives a new life!
