Children see color as crayons,
beautiful art which represents
oceans, flowers, sunsets and dawns;
hues of people, this sight ascends.
Were we to see as children see
before the influence of hate
our hearts and minds would remain free
as we were born and was innate.
We’ve lost the purity of sight
and turned our backs on God’s great gift;
but if we reach out to the Light
He once again our souls will lift.
His love and grace and mercy still
are in our reach; do not despair.
He lives within us, that’s the thrill;
He always hears our silent prayer.
So wipe your tears, and once again
Remember you’re His precious child.
See others as your godly friends
Whom Christ has also reconciled.

One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.
But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left. (Matthew 19:13-15)

Thank you, Jennie. From a former teacher (pre-k-6th grade) to a current one. Between us we have over half a century in teaching and have, I’m sure, both learned the purity of love from the children we have taught. ❤
