My Dear Child,

by

Thea Van Doorn

To day you came into my office, you asked for me

to come for a walk, but I was so busy.

I told you not now, some other time. You decided to

Go and see the fields,you past by our neighbor,

He too did not want to go; you promised him

there would be lots to see.

He asked," what is there  to see ?"

Wonders that the Lord  has Made for you and me.

"If you can prove, there is a Lord, I will give you this shiny dime".

You took your friend to the rock ,where the frog croaked his song.

You pointed out the birds, singing in the tall tree.

The sky, so blue. The dancing white clouds,

the worm in the soil, the butterflies in all their glories colors.

The soft moss on which you took a rest and talked about the

daisy and the buttercups. You picked the dandelion and blew the seed.
*******
I failed to spent the time with you , I should have been there with you.

Now that I have the time for you, you are asleep.

More over your dreaming  and smiling  in your sleep, thinking

of the shiny dime , you so much deserved, for showing your friend

that the Lord is every where.

Please Lord help me to see the wonders you have made,

true the eyes of the child you sent to me , to teach as he

teaches me. Let me remember to trust and know what is

important . This dear child taught his friend that we are never allone

He showed his friend, and he now believes.

Lord, let me trust, and  believe  in the wonders you have made.
