Why God Made Little Boys
God made a world out of his dreams
of magic mountains, oceans, plains and wooded land
Then paused and thought
I need someone to stand on top of the mountain
to conquer the seas
explore the plains
and climb the tree
Someone to start out small
and grow sturdy and strong like a tree, and so ....
He created boys full of spirit and fun
to explore and conquer, to romp and run,
with dirty faces and and banged-up chins.
When he had completed the task he'd begun
he surely said,
"That's a job well done."
