as a child |
a child's growing offers challenge
so many things are there to teach
from family and community
in a creative balance of old and new
a child's growing offers obligation
in exchange for joy and completeness
to provide nurture and love
because we were and are loved also
a child's growing offers blessing
so many things are there to learn
from the child's own teaching
as one freshly from god's company
for we were once wisely told
to welcome the world as a child |
