Children need a listening ear,
Their feelings and their thoughts to hear.
Listen closely as they share
And secrets of their hearts they bare.
Children love a smile or two,
To know that they’re approved by you.
And they love a gentle touch
To let them know you love them much.
Children are a precious gift,
Our lives to warm and hearts to lift.
We can learn a lot from them,
For each one is a sparkling gem.
“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord...”
Psalm 127:3 KJV
