A Little Boy's Faith
©1999
Once
there was a little boy whose faith knew no bounds.
For
you see, there was a wonderful gift that he'd found.
His
eyes were on Jesus and he knew of His love,
He
was so close to his Dear Friend and Father above.
This
young lad had been sick much in his life
And
he had learned at an early age of pain and strife,
But
his faith never faltered and he cared so much for others.
Once
when he was very sick and his mother cried,
He
showed once again, his angelic side.
For
he sought not comfort for himself, but his mother -
"I'll
be all right, Mom, please don't cry,
You
see those raindrops falling down from the sky?
God's
crying, too. He's shedding tears for me."
And
as a tiny raindrop slid down his thin arm,
He
said, "Oh, Mom, I'll come to no harm.
God's
teardrop has touched me, and now I'll be well."
This
little boy's faith, he never ceases to tell
And
to share with all those who care for and love him.
For
our Lord Jesus told us, "And a little child shall lead them."
Written May 27, in honor of my nephew
Chuck Kerns' Birthday.
Chuck was born with Cystic Fibrosis
And has known much suffering in his short life,
But he abounds with the faith and love of Jesus Christ.
