Poems

Let them come

From the January 1990 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Suffer little children, and forbid them
not, to come unto me.

Matthew 19:14

"Let them come," the Master said.
They could not be denied.
In love he saw their innocence
and drew them to his side.

None can stop the child's ascent
up God's holy hill.
Even time can have no hold,
for we're His children still.

All mankind can turn to God,
with childlike trust begin.
Each can feel the Master's touch,
like children, welcomed in.
