Let them Come

I wrote this and read in church dedicating to the children and decided to share here (I'm gonna skip how happy doing this made me)

Here you go:

Why are they all gathered around me?
why does my cry bring them smiles and laughter?
oh! the comfort and peace their arms bring.
but how can i understand?
i'm just a child.

"verily i say unto you, except you be converted and become like a little child, ye shall not enter the kingdom of God"

Look at them go,
innocent, oblivious of the worries and care life brings,
living life out of the curious eyes given unto them.
whats better than a child?
a child that knows the lord

the word says

"Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it"

then we say

Can we thank you enough?
can we thank you enough for showing us the way of the Lord?
for showing us the path of righteousness?
Now we obey, we obey the given word

"Children obey your parents in the lord for this is right"

That word we obey

We are little,
innocent,
full of questions,
we believe,
we trust, yet,
directionless and clueless,
but still he says

"let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these"

so, just like he said
i say to you today

"Let them come"

Writing this made me relate to our relationship with out heavenly father, reminding me that he actually wants me to come to him. So, as children of God (no matter how old you are) I'm wishing you all a Happy Childrens Day.
