Let Me Be Your Child Let me be Your child, Lord, With little fingers caressing little toes And little dreams from little eyes That wrinkle when they close. Sweet dreams of innocence Of a life that has been set free By Your Glory and Your Kingdom come Through Your Child which lives in me. By Your Grace, dear loving Father, This world has known new birth Because Your promised Child has come To live upon the earth. Not in cathedrals made with hands For all the world to see, But in the image of Your Son Through Your Child which lives in me. My life has been rejuvenated As Your newborn child, indeed, To receive Your heavenly Kingdom, Lord, And to plant a precious seed. I am thankful to be Your child In Your gentle arms forevermore to be Singing praises unto You, Father, Through Your Child which lives in me. -Robert E. Michaud Jr.- |

This poem was amazing....I can feel your faith and the flame that burns inside of you to proclaim it. Keep that innocence in front of God always! God Bless "Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well." ~Essay on Poetry, John Sheffield "Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint." ~Isaiah 40:3 |

Let me be Your child, Lord, With little fingers caressing little toes And little dreams from little eyes That wrinkle when they close. WONDERFUL! So beautiful! It brought out the sense of the child in me! That simple trusting faith,pure in extraction of truth, and busting with wonder! Great poem! chaplainscott.com http://www.chaplainscott.com |
