LIKE  A LITTLE CHILD

I tug on your hem like a little child,
so small and nieve, needing your grace.
I want to crawl onto your lap,
to be wrapped in your warm embrace.
I need to feel your strong arms,
that I, can lean upon.
My Lord, you are my heavenly Father,
it is your love to which I'm drawn.
You fill my heart Lord with the Spirit,
it's your love that makes me high.
I see you in the days first light,
in the trees, the grass, the sky.
As a child in wide eyed wonder,
I am overwhelmed by your being
all that you said you would be,
and I am awed by what I'm seeing.

Dear Erie; Oh! I can't get over the wonder and love I feel right now! You are so lovely in His Love and my heart is filled with the wonder of it all. We are so blessed to be brought together here. This truly a little heaven on earth. Isn't it? Thank you so much for this glorious poem! Love, Ellie

Your picture of a little child seeking the comfort & security of a Loving parent-in God Himself, is so beautiful.  I love the thoughts and sentiment you share here, How wonderful it is knowing, that if we draw nigh to God, He will draw nigh to us!
Thank you, ERIEVAL, for treating us to this poem,   David
