A Child's Small Hand

The warmth and the trust
In a child's small hand
Are much to be honored
To help him to stand.

For he reaches up
To the parent or friend
Who offers a hand
With assurance to lend.

He will then follow
And do what he sees,
For he's eager to learn
And anxious to please.

Kind nurture and molding
Of each little child
Will cause him to blossom,
To be gentle and mild.

"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
Psalm 127:3 KJV
