Poem For The Children

Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around
9:38,
when 20 beautiful children stormed through
heaven's gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their
laughter filled the air,
they could hardly believe all the beauty
they saw there.

They were
filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say,
they remembered nothing of what had
happened earlier that day.
"Where are
we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is heaven." declared a small boy.
"We're spending Christmas at God's house."

When what to
their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior. The children
gathered near.
He looked at
them and smiled, and they smiled just the same,
Then He opened His arms and He called them
by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only
heaven can bring,
those children all flew into the arms of
their King.
And as they
lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus'
face.

And as if He
could read all the questions she had,
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care
of mom and dad."
Then He
looked down on earth, the world far below,
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and
woe.

Then He
closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this
land!"
"May this
country be delivered from the hands of fools."
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back
my schools!"

Then He and
the children stood up without a sound.
"Come now my children, let me show you
around."
Excitement
filled the space, some skipped and some ran,
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small
child can.

And I heard
Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"In the midst of this darkness, I still
am The Light."

Brilliant!
As tough as it is for us left behind, that's just how it is for them.
