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!
