Children in God's Eyes: A Poem of God's Love

I’d like to think now I’m all grown

But then again when I’m alone

I look inside and humbly confess –

I am just a child, no more, no less

A child of God who has been blessed

I snuggle up close never leaving His nest

God in great love planned us and smiled:

“I am your Father and you are my child”

This world tells us it’s all about fun

While our Father desires we love everyone

Adults daily work in 123’s, ABC’s

As our Father works on eternity

In our free time we desire to play

God uses his time to mold us clay

Sometimes like children we take and grab

God keeps giving, His way is not drab

We are taught we must obey rules

As our Father is busy preparing his jewels

We tell our children to take their bath

God says, ”Clean up your mind and escape My wrath”

After supper parents and children sleep

Our Father never tires, our souls to keep

As silly monkeys at the zoo

God’s children look a bit silly too

Running around with no purpose or goal

Stuffing the flesh while starving the soul

Not one is smarter, stronger or higher than He

We forget life is more than just me, me, me

Losing our way as we suffer along

When God finds us, we know we belong

“My children, my children, little sheep

Love and obey me, your soul I’ll keep!

Don’t fret my child, don’t cry anymore

Listen, trust, believe Me, I open the door”
