My little child,
Come now to hear
The sound of the ocean
Splashing so clear,
The sound of the breeze
Dancing through trees,
The sounds of gulls
Over the seas,
The sounds of children
Happy at play,
The sounds of birds
On a beautiful day..
Yes, little child,
Come now to see
My blessings of bliss,
My graces of beauty,
For these are the things
Which make life sweet:
The feeling of sand
Beneath your feet,
The peaceful lake,
The mountain high,
The verdant grass,
The brilliant sky,
The smile of a baby,
The song of a child,
The rhythm of the ocean,
Melodic and mild.
Yes, little child,
These gifts do savor,
Embrace my blessings,
Embrace my favor,
As I am the Giver
Of all good things,
Inspiring your spirit
To fly on wings,
To lift you high
When you are down,
To transform to smiles
Your every frown.
So as a child
Ever happy at play,
Embrace My gifts
On your purposeful way,
Smile joyfully
At the dance of trees,
Sing with the gulls
Of the happy seas,
Yes, clap with the waves
Splashing so clear..
And rejoice to know
I Am always near!
