Gifted Christian Poet
I have, entrusted to my care, a young and tender soul
to mould and guide and teach and love is such a vital role;
No greater task or honour could ever come my way
And awesome are the duties to be carried out each day.
Each word I say is noticed, each deed I do is seen,
For little ears are listening and little eyes are keen;
My life must be a mirror, reflecting Christ our King
as to the feet of Jesus a little child I bring.
Time passes very quickly and so soon he’s fully grown,
And one day in the future, I’ll reap what I have sown,
What matters then is not the wealth or status he achieves
but that he truly loves the Lord and knows what he believes.
