Thank God For Little Children.

Topics: classic

Thank God for little children,          Bright flowers by earth's wayside,      The dancing, joyous lifeboats          Upon life's stormy tide.      Thank God for little children;          When our skies are cold and gray,      They come as sunshine to our hearts,          And charm our cares away.      I almost think the angels,          Who tend life's garden fair,      Drop down the sweet wild blossoms          That bloom around us here.      It seems a breath of heaven          Round many a cradle lies,      And every little baby          Brings a message from the skies.      Dear mothers, guard these jewels.          As sacred offerings meet,      A wealth of household treasures          To lay at Jesus' feet.
