A Child's Heart

A child's heart yearns for words.

Words to bring forth life,

words that birth wings,

words that set them to flight.

Words that allow one so young to

sore on waves of hope.

A child's heart seeks for eyes.

Eyes filled with love,

eyes that are deep pools of mercy,

eyes that cast glances of assurance.

Eyes that hide nothing  but dance with

joy.

A child's heart longs for an embrace.

An embrace during the storm, 

an embrace of healing,

an embrace of refuge and acceptance.

A child's heart lives for the Father,

for His words,

for His eyes,

for His embrace.

Life was given by His Word,

the universe is found in His eyes, 

a tower of refuge is His embrace.

Run, run little one into the Father,

there you will find your hearts desire.
