Love the Children

Jesus called a child to him and said: "And who shall receive one such child in my name receives me." And so love the children Love also the grandchildren. For in ways life is a great circle. We arrive at the start of the arc And we are children. Thus begins the journey of life As if ascending a rainbow. It should not come as a surprise That as old ones we can communicate So well and so clearly with the young. Thus now the circle is complete And we return to our very beginnings. As we are in unison with the children. Our hands entwine In understanding of love Having completed life's orbit.
