Little Hands Are Meant For Holding
Little hands are meant for holding, and building worlds in the sand. Little feet are meant for walking down a trail hand in hand. Little eyes are meant for seeing each cloud up in the sky. Little ears are meant for hearing the song birds flying by. Little hearts are meant for knowing the joy of each knew day. Little mouths are meant for singing a song along the way. Little minds are meant for holding on to each new memory. Little spirits are meant for guiding us to where we used to be.

Books Are Meant For Little Hands To Hold
I placed a book upon the shelf, with pages crisp and new. Since then many little hands, have turned those pages thru. Now the book looks weather worn, with pages bent and pages torn. Books are meant for little hands to hold So little eyes can read each story told. If I read books carefully Then they will last for all to read and see.

Children Need Wild Yards
Each home should have weeds in front, which blossom in the spring. Nearby there should be ants and bees, and wild birds which sing. Each child should have flowers to hold, ants and bees to follow, baby wild birds to see. May the child in each of us never grow old.

Your World
I see you’re on a horse, as you ride across the wooden floor. Soon, you’ll be riding that horse out thru the door. Now you’re in a plane, flying high up in the air. Flying in that plane, you can travel anywhere. You’re rolling gently down a railway, riding in a train. That train will take you far away and bring you back again. Floating in a boat on a lake or out at sea. Oh, so many places, where you would like to be. Whirling in rocket ship into outer space. In your imagination you can travel any place.

It’s Okay If I Feel Sad
It’s okay if I feel sad when something’s gone real bad. It’s okay if I cry when I have to say goodbye. I need to shed tears when I’m feeling my fears. Because I’ve felt low, others feelings I know. After I’ve cried all my feelings from inside. After shedding tears, feeling sad and facing fears. A new day can begin as I find new hope within. Hope is always waiting there for me to find and share.

Troubled Little Lives
My little eyes have seen things that are hard for me to see. My little ears have heard things that are so hard for me.
In my thots there are questions. In my heart there is fear. I need someone to comfort me, someone to hold me near.
Somewhere there is happiness, somewhere there is joy today. In a moment all my happiness and joy are swept away.
The wounds I am suffering are far inside of me. The scars from their healing no one will ever see.
As my life continues on some memories will fade. With each new day I live new memories are made.
In spite of all the shadows that linger here within. I know new hope and happiness can somehow soon begin.

You Can Rest and Sleep My Little Friend.
You can gently close your eyes, my little friend. As this wonderful day is coming to an end. You can let your thots run free now, little one. As you think of all the pleasant things you’ve done. As you sleep, so innocent, so meek and mild. I will pray to God for you, now, little child.
