When I was small and but a child
I spoke in manner sweet and mild
Twas not a time of angry ways
For kindness dwelt in all our days.
We spared each other any pain
Determined to help and explain
Our words displayed the constant grace
Of honesty while face to face.
How clever that our role should be
To echo God’s integrity
And live with honor all our days
To seek God’s love and sing His Praise !
